Generally, the exercise of communication in business is required to establish the effective communication. However, for the members in software project that is characterized by the key words, e.g., "low budget", "short delivery time" and "small team", such kind of exercise is very difficult. Then, without premise knowledge and training, to realize the communication that can make a common understanding among members is expected. In this paper, the faces method is employed to present a project manager's information to the stakeholders. The complex numerical / language data can communicate among stakeholders by applying the face method. According to the results of prior-research, the number of parameter of face chart is decided, and the metrics for each parameter are also proposed. The effectiveness of the proposal is evaluated by experts in project management, and the 90% of them show the efficiency of proposal.
