BUS 528 - Chapter 3 Ideas

1. Stakeholders are the heart of a successful project
Although a project can contain many stakeholders, most of them fall into a predictable set of roles. By understanding the classic roles, it will be easier to seek out stakeholders and understand their stake in the project.

2. It is clear that we need to know who our stakeholders are. It is also true that many projects fail to involve one or more critically important problems are easily predictable: requirements conflicts and rework, at a minimum: and sometimes more dire consequences, including lawsuits or hefty fines.

3. Stakeholder Roles can be: project manager, project team member, management, the customer and the representatives of external constraints.

4. Project manager to lead the stakeholders
To control who is allowed to influence the project and manage upward. Many of the stakeholders need you to ask the hard questions, provide reasonable alternatives, confront them with facts, and continually motivate them toward action by your own persistence and enthusiasm.

Have a good communication plan with stakeholders can help the project runs with less problem. With the support from the stakeholders will have less chance to get it to be on the 'cutting board'.
