Abstract

The purpose of this research paper will be to discuss the techniques that are used in achieving effective communication within a project team by focusing on the commercial construction industry. The thesis statement for this research paper will therefore be "to identify techniques for achieving effective communication in the project management of a commercial building construction". To further understand the various concepts that will be covered in the research paper, the terms project and project management have to be defined. A project is defined as a temporary activity that a company engages in that has a pre-defined start and end date. Projects are usually constrained by the time period needed to complete the project's activities as well as the amount of money that will be needed to complete the project (Cleland and Ireland 25).

Projects are usually identified by the number of unique goals and objectives that are needed to bring about a beneficial change or add value to the operations of a company. They differ from normal business operations because they are repetitive and short term in nature. For projects to be managed effectively, project management has to be introduced to ensure that the various activities of the project have been handled properly. Project management is defined as the planning, organizing and management of resources that are needed to successfully complete a project. The most common approaches that are used to manage a project include the critical chain management technique, PRINCE2, event chain management, agile project management and process based project management (Haynes 3).

[...] Conclusion The thesis for the research paper has dealt with identifying the various techniques that are used for achieving effective communication in a project team. The tools and approaches that are used by various project team members have been discussed as well as their effectiveness in achieving the desired levels of communication in projects such as those for construction. The study has revealed that effective communication sustained through the various forms of communication is an important activity because it reduces cases of dissatisfaction, conflicts of interests and any law suits which might be caused as a result of ineffective project communication within the project team.

[...] Techniques of Achieving Effective Communication According to the American Society of Civil Engineers communication is termed to be the most important tool of achieving effective project coordination. Coordination and communication are important activities that run concurrently with each other as coordination entails a broad range of project activities that are related to the management of people and resources while communication involves maintaining the flow of information so as to support the activities of the project. Project communication is defined as the sending and receiving of important, critical or vital information that is appropriate to the various members of the project team. [...]
