Part 7: Project Communications Management
Several issues have arisen on the Global Treps Project. Ashok, your team
member in India, broke his wrist playing tennis yesterday and cannot
work on the project at all for three weeks. His work, which involves
helping to edit the videos, starts in one week, so you need to reassign it
to others.
Bobby suggests you use kanban boards to list all of the tasks for editing
the videos and to track where they are in the work flow. Bobby, a techie
and not known for being a good communicator, is the only person who’s
ever used kanban boards. You have not yet broken down the tasks into
much detail and need more information from Angela, the contractor in
charge of creating the videos.
