Introduction
The template reflects the steps set out in the PRINCE2 Method and is designed to prompt the Project Manager and help in the creation of the Communication Plan. The information for the Communication Plan will be found within the DP Process of the PRINCE2 Manual. There is also a Product Description for the Communication Plan at Appendix A of the PRINCE2 Manual.
Information for the Communication Plan is derived from the Project Board, Project Brief, Project Quality Plan and Project Approach.

Once your Communication Plan Document is completed check the document against the following Quality Criteria:
• Have all the listed derivation sources been checked?
• Have all stakeholders been identified and their communication requirements defined?
• Is there agreement from all interested parties about the content, frequency and method?
• Has a common standard been considered?
• Has time to carry out the identified communications been allowed for in Stage Plans?
