This episode is sponsored by:
Too often in our rush to produce deliverables the communications plan is overlooked. This happens everywhere, even in companies that have formal project management methodologies. On the outset of your project you might have all the best intentions and take the time to create a communications plan.

But most importantly, we announce the winners of the giveaway for two one-year subscriptions to The Project Management PrepCast™ .
