Problem
A communication plan provides information in a clear and direct way to all parties involved in the project. As you discussed Collaborative Discussion: Communication Plan, there are several different templates available and ways to develop an agile communication plan.
Create an agile communications strategy for the project or task you used for the Weeks 2 and 4 summative assessments that includes a communication plan and a status report outline. These two items will help you collaborate with your stakeholders throughout your project's lifecycle.
Use a template of your choice (e.g., you may use one from your collaborative discussion) and create a communication plan that includes the necessary information for a comprehensive and quantifiable agile communications strategy for your project's stakeholders. Remember: What is good for your project may not be good for others. Headings may include, but are not limited to:
a) Metrics
b) User Stories
c) Delivery Description
d) Key Message
e) Audience
f) Channel(s)
g) Who/Responsible
h) Objective
i) How
j) Media
k) When/Frequency
Below your communication plan, create a status report template for your project that will be used to communicate status updates to your project stakeholders. In your template:
a) Imagine you have just completed the first week of your project, and complete template sections that correspond to it with appropriate content for the stakeholders.
b) Anticipate the critical issues, challenges, and successes of the first week that would be discussed during the first week's review.
