Question 48
You are meeting with Jessie, a project stakeholder with low interest and low influence. You need to account for Jessie in the communications management plan, so you ask him how he prefers communication. He tells you that you can send him an instant message (IM) about project developments. What type of communication is this?
- A Informal verbal
- B Formal written
- C Informal written
- D Formal verbal
Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Instant Messaging (IM) is an example of informal written communication. Formal writing requires an update to something traditional, like a project management plan, not an IM. The communication request is not formal verbal communication because it does not occur in a planned setting and is not verbally communicated. The communication request is not informal verbal communication because it does not occur over the phone or in-person by happenstance and is not verbally communicated.Discussion
