When is the Communication Management Strategy created?

The Communication Management Strategy is created after the Project Board has authorized the initiation phase. This strategy outlines how information will be communicated throughout the project, ensuring that all stakeholders are kept informed and that their needs are effectively met.

Creating the strategy at this stage allows the project team to align communication plans with the overall project objectives and stakeholder expectations, which is essential for project success. It also makes sure that communication activities are integrated into the project management processes from the very beginning.

At the point of project initiation, the foundational understanding of stakeholders and their communication needs is being established, making it critical to formalize this strategy based on the Project Board's authorization. This ensures that every communication aligns with the expected project governance and stakeholder engagement framework.
