Effective communication is a cornerstone of project management, particularly when dealing with changes that may affect team morale. The project manager should openly communicate the project's impact and involve the team in the planning process. This approach not only helps in managing the change effectively but also in addressing the concerns of the team members, thereby fostering a collaborative project team environment. Engaging the team throughout the project helps in building a common understanding and ensures that everyone is aligned with the project's objectives12. References:
