Chapter 13: Stakeholder Engagement
In this short chapter, we'll cover the extensive topic of stakeholder management. In Chapter 4, Charters and Stakeholders, we covered trends and emerging practices, Agile influences, and the first stakeholder management process of identifying stakeholders in the initiation process. This led to an analysis of power and interest and the creation of the stakeholder register, which describes who your stakeholders are and what their requirements might be. This chapter will pick up the planning process group and "plan our stakeholder engagement." Then, we will move on to managing stakeholder engagement during the execution of the project. Finally, we will discuss monitoring stakeholder engagement in the monitoring and controlling phase of the project.
In this chapter, we'll cover the following topics:
- Planning stakeholder engagement
- Managing stakeholder engagement
- Monitoring stakeholder engagement
