According to PMBOK, the general management skill of communicating is related to, but not the same as, Project Communications Management. Communicating is the broader subject and involves a substantial body of knowledge that is not unique to the project context, for example:

■ Sender-receiver models—feedback loops, barriers to communications, etc.

■ Choice of media—when to communicate in writing, when to communicate orally, when to write an informal memo, when to write a formal report, etc.

■ Writing style—active versus passive voice, sentence structure, word choice, etc.

■ Presentation techniques—body language, design of visual aids, etc.

■ Meeting management techniques—preparing an agenda, dealing with conflict, etc.
