Communication Management Strategy

The following are some of the preferable Agile communication aspects that should be planned for, and reflected in the Communication Management Strategy:

• Preference towards face-to-face communications. This is based on the Agile Principles
• Simplicity
  • The use of Information Radiators
  • The use of Daily Standups
  • The use of facilitated workshops instead of common meetings
  • The use of modelling (including prototyping)
  • Having more information communications
• The need for more effective communication between the client and the supplier
