Ideas the questions test most

  1. The number of communication channels among n people is n(n − 1) / 2. Adding people raises it quickly: 10 people have 45 channels, 12 have 66.
  2. Interactive communication (meetings, calls) is best for complex or sensitive matters; push (emails, memos) reaches specific recipients; pull (portals, wikis, information radiators) lets many people find information when they need it.
  3. An information radiator, such as a task board or burndown chart, is a large, visible display of current project information.
  4. When a stakeholder is not getting what they need, check the communication plan and their requirements, then adjust the plan; do not simply send more reports.

Common questions

How do you calculate communication channels for the PMP exam?

Use n(n − 1) / 2, where n is the number of people. A team that grows from 8 to 11 people goes from 28 to 55 channels, an increase of 27.

What is the difference between push and pull communication?

Push communication is sent to specific recipients, such as emails or memos, but does not confirm understanding. Pull communication is placed where people find it themselves, such as a project portal or wiki, and suits large audiences or large volumes of information.
