• Stakeholder communication requirements,
• Reason for the distribution of the information,

• Timeframe and frequency for the distribution of required information,
• Individual or group responsible for communication of the information, and

• Individual or group receiving the information.

10.3.1.2 Project communications

Described in Section 10.2.3.1. The Control Communications process involves the activities that are required
for information and communications to be monitored, acted upon, and released to stakeholders. Project
communications come from multiple sources and may vary significantly in their format, level of detail, degree of
formality and confidentiality. Project communications may include but are not limited to:

• Deliverables status,
• Schedule progress, and 10

• Costs incurred.

10.3.1.3 Issue Log

Described in Section 13.3.3.1. An issue log is used to document and monitor the resolution of issues. It may be
used to facilitate communication and ensure a common understanding of issues. A written log documents and helps
to monitor who is responsible for resolving specific issues by a target date. Issue resolution addresses obstacles
that can block the team from achieving its goals. This information is important to the Control Communications
process as it provides both a repository for what has already happened in the project and a platform for subsequent
communications to be delivered.

10.3.1.4 Work Performance data

Described in Section 4.3.3.2. Work performance data organizes and summarizes the information gathered,
and presents the results of comparative analysis to the performance measurement baseline.
