|
| Topic Description: Using Plain Language and Technical Communication Guidelines to Improve Project Documentation As project management practitioners, you understand the critical importance of effective communication. This presentation focuses on the plain language communication strategies used to ensure clear and effective written communication with geographically-dispersed, cross-functional project teams throughout the project lifecycle. The plain language movement (also known as plain writing and plain English) in the United States began as an effort to decrease the complex, confusing language commonly used by federal agencies when communicating with the public. Plain language has since moved into the business sector, requiring creditors to provide consumers clear disclosures of account terms and statement activity. While not mandated by the federal government, plain language has been embraced by industries that recognize the benefits of plain language in business communications. This presentation provides simple tools and techniques that you can use to improve your project communications immediately. Learning Objectives
