A project manager is developing a communications management plan for a project that includes a total of 6 key stakeholders. How many potential communication channels must the project manager account for?
15
12
21
30
The correct answer is 15. The number of potential communication channels in a project is calculated using the formula N(N-1)/2, where N is the number of stakeholders.
For this project: N = 6 Channels = 6 * (6-1) / 2 Channels = 6 * 5 / 2 Channels = 30 / 2 Channels = 15
Understanding this formula helps the project manager quantify the complexity of the project's communication network and plan accordingly. Each additional stakeholder exponentially increases the number of channels, highlighting the importance of a well-structured communication plan.
