ALso the mode of communication is different between small and large projects. But offcourse the comminucation channel between the PM and the stake holders of the project should be always open and flowing for all kinds of project and it is the key to success of the project.

Your example is a great case study for how small projects still require full communication with all stakeholders.

In my very first project, many moons ago, I forgot to involve the post room. The project was about bringing a service in-house. On the go live day, all the post got redirected from the outsource provider to us, in-house. And the post room was swamped. Since then, I've always thought stakeholder analysis and the communications plan go hand in hand! I completely agree: it’s so easy to forget communications unless you write it down.
