Communication is the skill that never will be overemphasized.

1. It is critical for project manager making task assignments clear. Not only the team members need the clear direction but also the stakeholders will have a vision what they need to know and what kind of obstacles will be expected.

2. Communication with stakeholders is kind of an art. As indicated in the book, the communication should detail the strategy not only for informing these stakeholders, but for actively managing their expectations as well. To my understanding, it’s like a psychological war.

3. Changes are consistently involved in every project. By defining a change management process, the leader could manage the project more easily and accurately. Usually, there are eight basic components to change management process. I think the formal acceptance is the one that should be paid special attention; the acceptance should be recorded in the change log for future reference.
