Explanation

The portfolio communication management plan is the authoritative and pre-established guide for determining who receives what information and how. Following the communication plan ensures consistency, completeness, and governance compliance when notifying stakeholders of approved and implemented changes. It also prevents both under-communication and unnecessary distribution of sensitive information. Notifying only end users (A) is too narrow and ignores other impacted stakeholder groups. Notifying only stakeholders listed on change orders (B) is also too narrow - change orders identify approvers, not necessarily all affected parties. Stakeholders identified by the steering committee (C) may overlap with the communication plan but using the committee's ad hoc identification bypasses the established communication governance process.
