PMI La Crosse - Rochester Chapter presents
What's at Stake? Integrating Stakeholder Management to Drive Project Success
January 11, 2016 - Rochester, MN
Session Description:
Does your organization perform stakeholder analysis? Do you effectively manage your project stakeholders? Many of us pursue stakeholder analysis as just another task on a project startup checklist to be marked off. But knowing who has a vested interest in your project outcomes, and more importantly, what that vested interest is, affects every aspect of your project. From schedule to scope; from communication to risk; knowing what's at stake and who cares about it may be the single most important factor for your success.
We will explore how the integration of stakeholder management throughout the other project management knowledge areas can set your team up for success.
