Kommunikation im Projektmanagement

Starting from a systemic project model and a constructivist multi-level model of communication, Matthias Freitag reconstructs a total of 34 functions of project communication. The author clarifies the broad yet ambivalent influence of communication on project work, both at the individual and project team levels, as well as in relation to stakeholders. He demonstrates that, in addition to project control, reporting, and documentation, performance delivery and learning, team development and leadership, as well as relationship management with stakeholders through project marketing and politics, are primarily communication tasks. Recent developments such as agile project management and virtual collaboration further emphasize this influence.
