Initial Postings: Read and reflect on the assigned readings for the week. Then post what you thought was the most important concept(s), method(s), term(s), and/or any other thing that you felt was worthy of your understanding in each assigned textbook chapter.
Your initial post should be based upon the assigned reading for the week, so the textbook should be a source listed in your reference section and cited within the body of the text. Other sources are not required but feel free to use them if they aid in your discussion.
Also, provide a graduate-level response to each of the following questions:
What are some of the common challenges encountered when communicating with project stakeholders?
[Your post must be substantive and demonstrate insight gained from the course material. Postings must be in the student’s own words – do not provide quotes!]
[Your initial post should be at least 150+ words and in APA format (including Times New Roman with font size 12 and double spaced).

When? How frequently?
How? (what method(s) do they prefer? Are there methods that are unsuitable?
Who will be the contact point from the project for this communication?

Team Meetings
Purpose is to verify progress, identify challenges and get assistance where needed.
Frequency and duration may vary throughout the project
Be considerate and schedule “off-line” meetings if only a few are involved in a particular item. It wastes the time of the rest.
Frequent very short meetings may be more effective with a small team (daily “stand-up” meetings are a standard part of Agile Systems Development.)
PM may need to meet and report with other PMs in the same program or portfolio.
