As a project manager, you don&#8217;t have to be a chatterbox, but the contact between you, the project team and in particular the client (in external projects) or supervisor (in internal projects) must never be interrupted. In project management, you have to communicate primarily with clients:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Sell successes<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>Teaching failures gently but honestly<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>Procure budget<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>Create trust<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Your project team, the steering committee, your superiors or the management of your company &#8211; to name just a few stakeholders &#8211; also need regular information from you as project manager. You not only communicate with them, but also lead meetings to discuss and solve problems. We have covered how to plan project meetings successfully in another article: <a href=\"#\">Plan and conduct efficient project meetings.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>In general, the task &#8220;<strong>Communication<\/strong>&#8221; means that as a project manager you must always maintain a dialog with all those involved. The sooner you talk about it, the easier it is to solve the problem. Arrange regular coordination and interim meetings with your clients or customers and prepare intensively for them. Ideally, a short meeting should take place at least once a week, if only to say: Everything is &#8220;OK&#8221;. This creates confidence in you and shows that you are running a successful project management.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"ob-is-breaking-bad elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-c868824 smenso-cta elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"c868824\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;_ob_bbad_use_it&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;_ob_bbad_sssic_use&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;_ob_glider_is_slider&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;ekit_has_onepagescroll_dot&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3547c30\" data-id=\"3547c30\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;_ob_bbad_is_stalker&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;_ob_teleporter_use&quot;:false,&quot;_ob_column_hoveranimator&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;_ob_column_has_pseudo&quot;:&quot;no&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5dd96d4 elementor-widget__width-inherit cta-text ob-harakiri-inherit ob-has-background-overlay elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5dd96d4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ob_use_harakiri&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;_ob_harakiri_writing_mode&quot;:&quot;inherit&quot;,&quot;_ob_postman_use&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;_ob_perspektive_use&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;_ob_poopart_use&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;_ob_shadough_use&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;_ob_allow_hoveranimator&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;_ob_widget_stalker_use&quot;:&quot;no&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Plan projects with a team all digitally, quickly and easily with one tool.

Let&#8217;s ask Aunt K\u00e4the (&#8220;Rudi V\u00f6ller): &#8220;We&#8217;ve made it to fifty percent, but that&#8217;s not half the battle!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And with that, both of them probably hit the nail on the head, because there are no half-measures in project management and half-measures always make things complicated. Your task in project management is to make whole things out of these half things, to create clarity and thus reduce complexity. How you ideally structure and plan your projects, we have already explained in our article &#8220;<a href=\"#\">Structuring Projects Efficiently?<\/a>&#8221; and also presented in another article the <a href=\"https:\/\/smenso.de\/tipps\/wie-strukturiere-klassifiziere-ich-meine-projekte\/\">Structuring with the help of smenso<\/a>.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"ob-is-breaking-bad elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-98dacb8 smenso-cta elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"98dacb8\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;_ob_bbad_use_it&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;_ob_bbad_sssic_use&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;_ob_glider_is_slider&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;ekit_has_onepagescroll_dot&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-05c7cb7\" data-id=\"05c7cb7\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;_ob_bbad_is_stalker&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;_ob_teleporter_use&quot;:false,&quot;_ob_column_hoveranimator&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;_ob_column_has_pseudo&quot;:&quot;no&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3571bb5 elementor-widget__width-inherit cta-text ob-harakiri-inherit ob-has-background-overlay elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3571bb5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ob_use_harakiri&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;_ob_harakiri_writing_mode&quot;:&quot;inherit&quot;,&quot;_ob_postman_use&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;_ob_perspektive_use&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;_ob_poopart_use&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;_ob_shadough_use&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;_ob_allow_hoveranimator&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;_ob_widget_stalker_use&quot;:&quot;no&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Plan projects with a team all digitally, quickly and easily with one tool.

Express also gladly times criticism in the sense of a successful project conversion, until you are content with the result. Every problem solution contributes to the success of the project, and your project team knows that.<\/p>\n<p>As a project manager, you have to deal with project risks and think of many small details. Your role can often be difficult, as you must not shy away from delivering uncomfortable messages.\u00a0 However, at the end of the day, honest and clear communication is the key to success and will make your life easier, your team and the client will thank you for it. It&#8217;s not a given. So praise yourself once in a while and celebrate your successes as a project manager:in with your team as well, so feel free to pop the corks.
