Question

Ann decided to hired Dionne Richards to be her assistant given the exigencies of this particular project. Dionne recently completed a project management course and based on the wealth of knowledge acquired, prides herself as a Project Communications Specialist. Dionne after holding several meetings with Rexford and Nyoka, suggested that effective communication is key to the success of this project. As such, she strongly recommended that *Appropriate communications channels must be established between all resource managers." She identified 10 such resource individuals with whom she needs to communicate frequently. Due to some internal and external changes within the DoD, three of these persons who happened to be engineers, were deployed elsewhere and hence taken off the project. She eventually had to add an external contractor, Kimberley Sharpe who would continue the set of activities started by the three engineers. What is the maximum number of communication channels in this particular scenario and would you recommend that Dionne utilize all of them in this situation? Justify
your recommendation.
