Abstract: The Centaurus Project in Islamabad is one of the largest construction projects underway in Pakistan.that designed by the renowned UK architect firm Atkins, China State National Construction Engineering Corporation. In Project Stakeholder Management, we have studied about the Project stakeholders, its categories and communication management. Our main tasks are. • Identify the stakeholders and classify them in different catogries. • How will project manager manage the communication process during the project to come up with productive results? Part 1 Classification and catogries of stakeholders: Individuals and organizations that are actively involved in the project, or whose interests may be affected as a result of project execution or project completion are termed as stakeholders. They may be individuals or organizations that are dynamically involved in the project. Their interests may be affected by the execution or completion of the project. Fundamentally, stakeholders affect and are affected by an organization and its activities. Stakeholders can affect an organization’s functioning, goals, development and even survival Several stakeholder categorization systems are encountered in the literature. Such as : • Primary , Secondary and Tertiary Stakeholders • Internal and External Stakeholders • Direct and Indirect Stakeholders • Supportive and Adversarial Stakeholders • Fixed and Variable Stakeholders • Actual, Potential Stakeholders • Key Stakeholders • Power, Legitimacy and Urgency Stakeholders Primary Stakeholders: Project primary stakeholders are those individuals or organizational entities who or which have a contractual or legal obligation to the project team and have the responsibility and authority to manage and commit resources according to schedule, cost and technical performance objectives.“ List of Primary Stakeholders is. 1.

Many beginning project manager do nothing to address communication on their projects beyond issue status reports. They start working on a project without even thinking about how to communicate with others. The lack of a communication plan is possibly the biggest mistake the project manager and the team members make. Project communication is composed of three components: Communicating project information in a timely manner. They generate the right level of information for the stakeholders. Collecting, distributing, and storing project information in an effective manner. Each team member communicates with other team members on a variety of subjects, issues, and processes daily. One common difficulty with project communication is that the project manager and team members assume they have communicated properly with each another, when most often they have not. The project manager is charged with guiding all aspects of the project including the communication plan. Communication is not only about speaking to and hearing from people its about understanding the complete message. Importance of Good Communications: • The greatest threat towards many projects is a failure to communicate. • Our culture does not portray IT professionals as being good communicators. • Research shows that IT professionals must be able to communicate effectively to succeed in their positions. • Strong verbal skills are a key factor in career advancement for IT professionals.. Methods of Communication: The communication models used to facilitate communications and the exchange of information may vary from project to project and also within different stages of the same project. The sequence of steps in a basic communication model is: • Encode. Thoughts or ideas are translated (encoded) into language by the sender. • Transmit Message. This information is then sent by the sender using communication channel (medium). The transmission of this message may be compromised by various factors (e.g., distance, unfamiliar technology, inadequate infrastructure, cultural difference, and lack of background information). These factors are collectively termed as noise. • Decode. The message is translated by the receiver back into meaningful thoughts or ideas. • Acknowledge. Upon receipt of a message, the receiver may signal (acknowledge) receipt of the message but this does not necessarily mean agreement with or comprehension of the message. • Feedback/Response. When the received message has been decoded and understood, the receiver encodes thoughts and ideas into a message and then transmits this message to the original sender Reference: • APA reference style, linguistics.byu.edu/faculty/henrichsenl/apa/APA01.html • Project management for construction house, slideshare.net/HagiSahib/project-on-construction-of-house-pp
