The project execution environment is a communications mine field and for projects to be successful all participants must learn to weave their way through the myriad challenges posed by dozens of project stakeholders. Stakeholders come in all shapes and sizes. Some are obvious and easily recognized, others are not! This is one of the reasons why the PMBOK® has added its first new Knowledge Area in many years (Project Stakeholder Management). This new Knowledge Area process documents how to analyze the current and desired levels of stakeholder engagement and highlights the fact that levels of stakeholder engagement may change according to the project situation and timeframe. In addition to the levels of stakeholder engagement, this new process also identifies the interrelations between stakeholders, including a process that ensures comprehensive identification and listing of new stakeholders, reassessment of current stakeholders and removal of stakeholders no longer involved in the project. This workshop will hit on all of these new hot buttons! This course will teach project professionals how to identify all of the stakeholders, classify them according to the respective stakes and, most importantly, prepare a tailored project communication plan that provides timely and focused project information to the appropriate stakeholders. This new approach will lead to significant improvements in stakeholder communications and result in needed improvement in managing stakeholder expectations.
