In this scenario, the project manager should employ techniques to monitor communications effectiveness. If stakeholders new to the project are not comprehending the status based on the current reports, it's crucial to identify and address the root cause of the misunderstanding. This may involve seeking feedback from stakeholders, conducting surveys, or engaging in direct communication to understand their perspectives. By employing Monitor Communications techniques, the project manager can assess the effectiveness of the current communication methods and identify areas for improvement. If the feedback indicates that the current report format is not meeting the needs of all stakeholders, adjustments to the communications management plan, including changes to reporting templates, may be necessary to ensure clear and effective communication moving forward.
