Communications Requirements and the Changing Project Plan
By Michele Berrie, Queensland University of Technology
As with other key project areas, communications requirements are likely to change. These changes may occur as a result of modifications in the other areas of the Project Plan. For example, regular stakeholder meetings to discuss project issues may determine that the project product uptake may be higher than originally foreseen because the product is seen to be worthwhile, so that communication updates must be at a broader level than originally noted in the Project Plan or separate Communication Plan. A need for training may be identified in the meetings and must be written into the Plan. A sometimes overlooked is the inclusion of a factor to account for communication if setbacks occur during implementation.
Queensland University of Technology (QUT) is a highly successful Australian university with an applied emphasis in courses and research. Based in the city of Brisbane with a global outlook, it has 40,000 students, including 6000 from overseas, (QUT Statistics) and an annual budget of more than AU$500 million. Courses are in high demand and its graduate employment rate is well above the national average for Australian universities.
