Purpose
Use this strategy to establish how the programme will ensure that stakeholders receive relevant, accurate and timely information. Programme communication must connect many stakeholders, component teams, benefit outcomes and strategic objectives without overwhelming audiences or exposing information improperly.
Application
Treat the strategy as an iterative decision guide for the programme manager. Review it periodically and when stakeholders, technology, regulation, confidentiality, components or communication performance change. Detailed messages, reports, audiences and schedules may be maintained in the communications management plan; this strategy defines the principles and choices that guide them.
Completion discipline
Complete the document from current evidence, name its owner and approving authority, and link the plans, registers or decisions that support it. Retain approved versions and review the document whenever a material assumption, dependency, requirement or governance decision changes.
