Project Communication Management Methods

Abstract

The effectiveness of the process of solving contemporary social problems is greatly enhanced by the application of models and methods of project management. Projects that have many stakeholders and project team members from various industries have gained considerable popularity and are called distributed. Higher education institutions often introduce “flexible projects” into the educational process, which, when preparing specialists for different industries, contribute to the formation of their respective competences. The process of implementing such projects goes through mini-cycles and involves a complex and extensive communication system, especially with the external environment. The purpose of the work is to choose the method of communication management in different types of projects. The features of communication management in flexible projects are defined in the article and the analysis of existing methods of communication on the example of environmental educational projects is carried out. The method of expert evaluation has identified effective methods of communication in flexible projects, namely educational, environmental and scientific, since the success of their implementation is the basis for the further formation of a stable internal environment of our country. For educational and scientific projects, the most effective are the written methods of communication, while the implementation of environmental projects, electronic communications are the most successful.
