Study Notes
Stakeholder Management
-
Managing stakeholders involves identifying, analyzing, planning, managing, and finally monitoring their engagement in projects.
-
Identifying and Analyzing Stakeholders:
- Stakeholder identification is critical for project success as failing to identify stakeholders at the outset can have a negative impact on project outcomes.
- Tools like brainstorming and mind mapping can be used to categorize large numbers of stakeholders during initial planning.
- Stakeholder analysis focuses on their interest in the project and their ability to influence project outcomes.
-
Planning Stakeholder Engagement:
- A 2x2 grid can be used to group stakeholders based on their interest in the project and their power to influence outcomes.
- The stakeholder engagement plan outlines the approach to engaging with stakeholders, including realistic expectations, communication methods, and interaction plans.
-
Managing and Monitoring Stakeholder Engagement:
- Maintaining engagement is an ongoing process throughout the project lifecycle.
- The project team should execute the engagement plan, monitor communication effectiveness, and leverage interpersonal skills to ensure stakeholder commitment.
Project Politics and Political Awareness
- Project politics are inevitable and require awareness and proactive management.
- Good politics focus on collaboration and building consensus while bad politics are self-serving and focused on individual gain.
- Building networks and relationships through motivation, reward, and support are essential for effective political management.
- Refer to Vijay Verma’s "The Art of Positive Politics" for a comprehensive exploration of influencing others within a project environment.
