CAPM Practice: Determine how to follow and execute planned strategies or frameworks

Following the planned communication strategy means executing it as documented in the communications management plan. If weekly reports on Friday are specified, that is what should be done unless there is a reason to change the plan through proper change control.

**Why not A:** Waiting for the sponsor to request updates is a reactive approach that violates the communications management plan. The plan specifies proactive weekly reporting, and the project manager should follow the documented strategy.

**Why not B:** Sending daily updates instead of weekly reports deviates from the approved plan without proper change control. Increasing frequency without authorization changes the communication strategy and may overload the sponsor with unnecessary information.

**Why not C:** Combining weekly reports into monthly summaries reduces the communication frequency below what was agreed upon. This violates the planned strategy and could leave the sponsor without timely information needed for decision-making.
