You are the business analyst for a large project for your organization. Your project has 65 stakeholders and this will greatly increase the complexity of the communication in this project. To demonstrate how complex this project and its communication will be, you show the management the number of communication channels in this project.
How many channels exist in this project based on the number of stakeholders?
The number of potential communication channels in a project is calculated using the formula n(n-1)/2, where n is the number of stakeholders. For a project with 65 stakeholders, the formula becomes 65(65-1)/2, which simplifies to 65*64/2 = 4160/2 = 2080. Therefore, the number of communication channels is 2080.
A. Number of potential communication channels = n x (n-1)/2. 65*(65-1)/2 = 65*32 = 2080
The number of stakeholders MINUS 1, multiply the result with the initially given number of stakeholders, and divide by 2= ANSWER. So 64 x 65 = 4160 / 2 = 2080
No of Communication Channels = N(N-1)/2 where N is the number of stakeholder
