It goes with saying that every project manager must be skilled at communication. According to the book A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide), 90% of project management is communication. As noted by Ann Drinkwater on ProjectSmart, "Just as the heart works to distribute oxygen throughout the body, the project manager continuously circulates project information from the external stakeholders to the project plan documentation, to the internal stakeholders, to the project plan."
Documents must be published and distributed, minutes and action items must be documented and tracked, issues and risks must be tracked and resolved. The list of project communication sometimes appears endless. A seasoned project manager knows that he/she can not drop the ball when it comes to communication because the success or failure of a project is directly determined by good, two-way project
communication.
