To put it blunt: Polyamory involves far more communication than a normal relationship, to make sure everyone is satisfied. That is the most important part, really. By the way, while polyamory can have many definitions, the common one is that everyone love each other equally. Even if some may play favorite, the consensus is that three people are in a romantic relationship.
Open relationship=Have sex with other people while mantaining a romantic relationship. Polyamory=Three or more people have a romantic relationship, in which everyone love one another, or they only love certain people within the group.
Both aren't mutually exclusive, of course, but once again, it's all about communication.
