What will be the number of communication channel s for the project?

You are the project manager for Bluewell Inc. You are studying the documentation of project plan.
The documentation states that there are twenty-five stakeholders with the project. What will be the
number of communication channel s for the project?

A.
20

B.
100

C.
50

D.
300

Explanation:

Communication channels are paths of communication with stakeholders in a project. The number
of communication channels shows the complexity of a project’s communication and can be
derived through the formula shown below:
Total Number of Communication Channels = n (n-1)/2
Where n is the number of stakeholders. Hence, a project having five stakeholders will have ten
communication channels. Putting the value of the number of stakeholders in the formula will
provide the number of communication channels.
Hence,
Number of communication channel = (n (n-1)) / 2
= (25 (25-1)) / 2
= (25 x 24) / 2
= 600 / 2
= 300

These are not valid number of communication channels for the given scenario.
