Project Management and Communications
Project management and communications go hand in hand. Excellence in project management requires being a great communicator.
Just about everyone could improve their communications. Most people (including myself) believe that they are good communicators, which is a big barrier to actually becoming a better or good communicator.
“Many people want to know what effective communication is and what it means to have effective communication skills. The answer involves several elements. Effective communication means that your ideas and concepts are being heard and people are acting upon them.” Laurie Brown
Projects Need a System
On a project or in a team, it is not enough to be a good face to face communicator. There are all sorts of stakeholders and team members who need to get the same message or reminders. People need to be aware of current status and progress. Avoiding verbal instructions is a good practice.
There are any number of project management tools. Inputting the information and keeping it all updated makes them work.
Take a look at Slack if you are not already familiar with it.

A well-run project will meet your expectations and be completed reasonably close to on time and on budget. However, there is no limit to the overruns that can occur on a badly managed project.
