Study Notes
Introduction to Planning
- The planning phase follows the initiating phase, which establishes the project charter.
- Planning involves decisions concerning scope, schedule, budget, project team, quality, and risk.
- Decisions made in one area can impact others.
- Budget planning directly affects scope and schedule due to resource limitations.
Stakeholder Characteristics
- Stakeholders are originally identified in the project charter but more are discovered during planning.
- Stakeholder power measures their influence on the project, ranging from low to high.
- High-power stakeholders significantly impact projects or might even cancel them.
- Low-power stakeholders have limited influence.
- Stakeholder interest varies (low to high).
- High-interest stakeholders actively participate and need information.
- Low-interest stakeholders have limited engagement and less interest in details.
- Stakeholder support is categorized as high, neutral, or low.
- High support indicates stakeholders wanting project success; neutral signifies indifference; low support means opposition.
- Assessing stakeholder power, interest, and support is crucial during planning.

- Key stakeholders identified in a case study include:
- Casey Sidor (CEO): high power, interest, and support.

- Low Power, High Interest: Provide information and communication.
- Low Power, Low Interest: Monitor these stakeholders; prevent them from gaining more influence.
Confidential Documents
