Communication Models

In the project sometimes language becomes the barrier in particular if the stakeholders are from different countries. So we need to bridge the gap hence, the Communication Models will be used. The Communication Model consists of different elements like Encoder, Decoder, Medium, Noise, feedback/response, acknowledge, Sender and Receiver. Here is the Communication Model explanation.

Sender: The one who send the message.

Encoder: The information is translated by the sender.

Transmit message: The information is sent through medium.

Medium: The mode/channel through which the message is conveyed. It can be email, fax, telephone, video conferencing, etc…

Decode: The receiver translate the message from sender to his/her understandable language.

Noise: Noise is compromised message and is inevitable. The examples can be unfamiliar technology, distance, culture difference, the technology itself and lack of background knowledge.

Acknowledge: The receiver confirms he/she received the message. But that doesn’t mean he/she is agreeing for the message.

Feedback/Response: The receiver again encodes the message and sends to the original sender about his/her thoughts. The receiver (original sender) decodes the message back to his/her understandable language.

Communication Models technique is used the processes Plan communications Management and Manage Communications.
