Managing and Controlling Stakeholder Engagement (PMBOK Guide Fifth Edition)

Course details

• Stakeholders are critical to your project's success. However, if you don't engage stakeholders when it's most appropriate, and continue effective communication throughout the project life cycle, the value and expertise you require from them could be lost. Managing and controlling stakeholder engagement is more than just responding to queries or issues; it's about anticipating project requirements and making sure the stakeholder engagement plan continues to stay on track so that you have what you need, when you need it. This course covers managing and controlling stakeholder engagement in the project management discipline, and introduces best practices outlined in A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) Fifth Edition, published by the Project Management Institute (PMI®). Specifically, learners will be introduced to tools and techniques for managing stakeholder engagement such as push and pull communication methods. Learners will also learn how to control stakeholder engagement using information management systems, expert judgment, and meetings. This course provides a foundational knowledge base reflecting the most up-to-date project management information. It will enable learners to effectively put principles to work in their own organizations, and assist in preparing them for the PMI® certification exam. This course is aligned with the PMBOK® Guide Fifth Edition, published by PMI®, Inc., 2013. Copyright and all rights reserved.
