Based on the PMBOK® Guide (specifically the Project Communications Management knowledge area), the Manage Communications process (historically referred to in some study versions as Distribute Information) focuses on making relevant information available to project stakeholders as planned.
Primary Outputs: The standard outputs for this process include Project communications, Project management plan updates, Project documents updates, and Organizational process assets (OPA) updates.
Why OPA Updates?: During the distribution of information, various assets are created or modified that become part of the organization ' s historical database. These include:
Stakeholder notifications: Information provided to stakeholders about resolved issues, approved changes, and general project status.
Project reports: Formal and informal project status reports and presentations.
Project presentations: Information provided formally or informally to stakeholders.
Project records: Correspondence, memos, meeting minutes, and other documents describing the project.
Comparison with Other Options:
Project calendar (A): This is typically an output of the Develop Schedule process.
Communications management plan (B): This is the primary output of the Plan Communications Management process and serves as an input to the distribution process.
Project document updates (D): While often an output, Organizational process assets updates is a more distinct and frequently tested output specifically related to the " collection and filing " nature of distributing information to the organization ' s archives.
