As part of an organizational change management team, a project manager must communicate changes to the project team. To prevent misunderstandings or resistance and ensure team support, what should the project manager do?

Regular communication is crucial for managing change effectively. Meeting with the team regularly ensures they are consistently informed about changes, understand the rationale, and have opportunities to ask questions and provide feedback. This proactive approach minimizes misunderstandings and resistance by fostering transparency and involvement. Holding meetings only with resistant members is reactive and may isolate those individuals. Influencing the team to communicate changes delegates a core project manager responsibility and could lead to inconsistent messaging. Checking willingness to change is a useful assessment but doesn't, by itself, address the need for ongoing communication to build support.
