What you'll learn:

Effective communication is key in all aspects of the project lifecycle. The Project Communication and Documentation course dives deep into the various types of effective communication used during a project. Communication takes place between the project team and the customer or sponsor, between the project team members, and also between the project team and its organization’s upper management. Communication may involve two people or a group of people. It’s a critical skill that must be continuously developed by all team members.
