- Abstract
- Effective communications are essential to the successful completion of engineer-procure-contract (EPC) projects. Recent survey data from CII members have verified this hypothesis. This finding would be of little benefit, however, without a reasonable means of measurement. This research summary describes a tool capable of measuring a project's communications effectiveness. "Compass," the Communications Project Assessment Tool, was developed by the CII Project Team Communications Research Team. It is designed for project managers to assess project team communications during the execution phases of an EPC project. The tool targets three project groups: project management, engineering and construction.
