This is the segue from planning to communication. The Planner opens with the plan you committed in the Planning Studios, reads the communication it requires, and walks you to a one-page plan you carry into the kickoff.
Every handoff, milestone, and decision gate you committed in the Studios is a communication that has to be planned. Here it is, read straight off your plan:
| From your committed plan | Communication it requires |
|---|
Pulled from the roles you staffed in Planning Studio 1. Hours signal who carries load — and who to keep closest in the cadence.
Each communication requirement serves the internal team, the consultant team, or the client. Set cadence, channel, decision-rights, records, and an owner for each. Defaults are derived from your plan — adjust them to fit.
This is the deliverable — the second half of what you present at the kickoff. Build it from your inputs above, then carry it into Module 7.
| Audience | Cadence | Channel | Decision rights | Records | Owner |
|---|
Lifted straight from your milestone weeks. These are the client conversations the plan schedules — with lead time for the decision that gates the phase.
Escalate on impact to scope, schedule, or fee.
The PM’s master view of the four lanes across the phase. Internal and consultant teams meet every two weeks; client updates and major decisions fall on the milestone weeks your plan established.
Your Communication Plan is saved and travels with your Oakhaven plan. In Module 7 you’ll put it on the table alongside the work plan, so the team, the consultants, and the client leave knowing not just what the project is — but how it will talk.
