Fundamentals of Stakeholder Management for Projects

Project Management|2 days|Classroom or live online

Fundamentals of Stakeholder Management for Projects is built for delegates who need to be useful in this area quickly. It starts at first principles and works through earned value management and scheduling without assuming prior specialist training. The programme exists because the coordination layer is usually the least trained and the most load bearing, and because capability in this area is usually built on the job with no structure behind it. Delegates leave able to work confidently with benefits realisation, project initiation and work breakdown structure in their own organisation.

What delegates leave able to do

Spot where benefits realisation is failing before it becomes a finding, measured against earned value management
Make a decision about project initiation without waiting for a specialist
Take ownership of work breakdown structure rather than escalating it
Review portfolio prioritisation and say plainly whether it is working
