Learning Activity #2
How does poor Project Communications Management impact Project Integration Management? Explain the relationship between the two using examples, and focusing on the stakeholders in a project.
According to our text, Project Communication Management is the “systematic planning, implementing, monitoring, and revision of all channels of communication within an organization.” (Project Management Institute, 2013)
Additionally, “Project Integration Management is the processes and activities to identify, define, combine, unify, and coordinate the various processes and activities within the project.” (Project Management Institute, 2013)

The Tred Avon River Tribune Project that I described in Learning Activity #1 is a great example of how poor Project Communication Management impacted the Project Integration Management.
The impact to the stakeholders was when the GIT first failed to identify critical areas of risk and then develop procedures and contingency plans to minimize the impact of strategic and conditional risks. Additionally, examining the risks that threaten the critical success factors of the oyster restoration project, such as the fossilized shell material used to build some of the reefs, ranking the issues to focus management efforts and develop responses to the watermen. Secondly, they failed to communicate to the government (stakeholders) the miscalculation of the complexity, cost, and schedule of the project, the “Triple …show more content…
Census Bureau requires every living person in America to be accounted for since the data used is the basis for the allocation of resources by the US government to locations throughout the US. Since there were concerns about the accuracy of the data collected and the rising costs of collecting the data, the U.S. Census Bureau began a project to eliminate their paper-based system and replace it with technology instead, by creating a handheld digitally computing device to collect the information. (Calleam Consulting, Ltd, 2012)
This project was a 10 billion dollars, would take over 10 years to conduct and required more than 1 million workers to be hired, trained, deployed, and managed.
The project was more complicated than anticipated since the introduction to technology was more complex than they had anticipated so the project team decided to use outside suppliers to complete the work. Due to the lack of established effective communications with the suppliers resulted in a “significant number of missing requirements”. As a result, the project was a failure and it cost an additional 3 billion dollars to resort back to the pen and paper process of collecting information. (Calleam Consulting, Ltd,
