Developing a communications plan (to address the stakeholders according to their concerns) is an aspect of programme management good practice.<br /><br />The plan should of course address different messages in different ways to different stakeholders groups. Programme Management should do the who, when, where and how of the communication. Enterprise Architecture should provide the what and the why of the commnuication. Clearly it makes sense to create the communications plan in partnership.<br /><br />Regards,<br />Ian.Ian Glossopnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19923333.post-11447524480297589772009-07-22T06:59:51.017+02:002009-07-22T06:59:51.017+02:00Serge,

I can't image to talk about EA in the same to those different people. The same is applicable to "IT units" which are composed of managers, architects, developers, operators. <br /><br />I think, that we have to give a convincing explanation to any of those "stakeholder" how EA addresses their concerns.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />ASAlexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07571303538841911828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19923333.post-12216219477898353082009-07-20T17:49:04.704+02:002009-07-20T17:49:04.704+02:00I repost the first one, but have some difficulties...I repost the first one, but have some difficulties for the spreadsheet..haven't been able to improve...:-(Serge Thornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07698523659465830145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19923333.post-18684611370768862192009-07-20T17:46:06.164+02:002009-07-20T17:46:06.164+02:00Well said!Well said!Amolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09932532326271203806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19923333.post-6022877189976980572009-07-18T16:12:18.172+02:002009-07-18T16:12:18.172+02:00Could you please repost sample pictures with highe...Could you please repost sample pictures with higher resolution?arkanoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16788299034814627694noreply@blogger.com
