Communication Path Question #3

You have a team of project managers who report to you. Recently, Andy Jones, a new manager, relatively inexperienced, was hired under you. Considering Andys level of experience, you assign him to a small project. As the project is not very complex and has fewer stakeholders involved then most, you envision the project to have no surprises or hiccups. There were 5 team members, the project sponsor, CIO, the customer contact, and the project manager (9 stakeholders). However, with increase in scope of work, 3 additional team members are now involved in the project. You ask Andy to identify the additional number of communication paths.
