True or false: A project manager cannot control all communications.
  1. True
  2. False
Explanation
Answer: True  - It is impossible and ineffective for a project manager to control all communication. There are PMs who try to do this - “Everything runs through me!” is occasionally heard.

Key takeaway: It ranges from 50% to 90% of the amount of time a project manager spends on various methods of communication. Even with this amount of time, people talk and it will drive you crazy to control all communication in a project.
