Towards project communication management patterns

Abstract

The paper aims at defining project communication management pattern basing on characteristics of patterns defined in other disciplines like: design patterns in software engineering, knowledge management patterns, enterprise architecture management patterns, enterprise architecture patterns for multichannel management, or project management patterns. All these established patterns share some common concepts and elements but are devoted to different fields and structures of activities and specific problems. The definition of project communication management pattern proposed in this paper is an attempt of adaptation of the existing pattern concepts to the characteristics and nature of communication management and its needs.
