This is the end of the Weekly Initiation activity group. If the organization is larger than the project team, a focused communication may be necessary.

Do we need to communicate the weekly plan to a broader audience?

Since this is a weekly activity, you should make sure that the frequency of the communications matches the expectations of the stakeholders, and if needed, send them every two or four cycles instead, and send it only to certain people rather than everyone in the organization.
