Abstract The communication project is a key factor to achieve good results in the development of a project; this includes the processes of planning, collecting, creating, storing, controlling and distributing information in a timely manner. In this context, the general objective of the research was to evaluate the communications management for the success of projects in a provincial university. In the first instance, communications assessment at the institutional level is carried out, the type of requirements and the use of communication methods are determined and then a communications plan is proposed. The type of research is descriptive, where a series of variables are selected, each of them are measured independently in order to describe them. As a result of the research, those involved in carrying out the projects were identified, it was obtained that the management of communications ensures a better distribution of information at all levels of the institution, in addition, the design of the communications plan allows the information to be transmitted efficiently and assertively.
