Creating a Blockchain Network Stakeholder Communication Plan
Effective communication is key in blockchain network management to ensure all stakeholders are informed and aligned. This guide outlines how to develop a communication plan tailored for blockchain operations.
What is a Stakeholder Communication Plan in Blockchain?
A stakeholder communication plan in the context of blockchain includes:
- Identifying who needs to be informed about network updates and changes
- Determining the necessary information for each stakeholder
- Establishing the timeline for communication throughout the project lifecycle
- Choosing the appropriate delivery methods (e.g., smart contract notifications, email updates)
The aim is to provide clear, consistent messaging to prepare stakeholders for any network updates.
When to Develop a Communication Plan
A draft plan should be developed during the initial stages of a blockchain project. It should accompany:
- Project scope and objectives
- Technical architecture and smart contract designs
- Risk and compliance assessments
This ensures a comprehensive review during the blockchain governance process.
Plan Components
Use the blockchain communication plan template to include:
- Stakeholders grouped by interest (developers, miners, investors, etc.)
- Communication milestones aligned with project phases
- Core messages and channels for each milestone
- Assigned roles for executing communication
- Feedback mechanisms to gather stakeholder input
Include any draft communication materials such as announcement scripts or update notifications. The Blockchain Advisory Board will review and provide feedback.
