It specifies who needs what information, how the information will be communicated, and when to distribute it. By first reviewing the Communication Plan, the PM can identify the predefined communication needs and expectations, and then align the incoming requests with what has been planned. If the requests are not in alignment, the PM will have a basis for a conversation with stakeholders or the sponsor about potentially revising the Communication Plan.
