Introduction

This portfolio work project, a staffing and communication management plan, is based on your selected business or IT project. You may choose to base your assignment on the case study of Cosmo, Inc., a developer and distributor of wearable technology, or use a project of your choice. Project communications management encompasses “the processes required to ensure timely and appropriate planning, collection, creation, distribution, storage, retrieval, management, control, monitoring, and ultimate disposition of project information” (Project Management Institute, 2017, p. 569). The project communication plan describes how, when, and by whom information regarding project status is administered by and disseminated to. The staffing management plan must address the areas that need to be included and how they should be implemented to ensure the project is successful. The management plan links individual success to team success, and thus, to project success.

• Clear business objective and a specific completion outcome.
