Stakeholder Management for Projects in the Public Sector

Project Management|3 days|Classroom or live online

Stakeholder Management for Projects in the Public Sector takes the discipline and works it through the constraints of this operating context, including project closure, portfolio prioritisation and the compliance obligations that come with it. The sector framing is necessary because the coordination layer is usually the least trained and the most load bearing, and generic training rarely survives contact with the local rules. Delegates leave able to work confidently with cost estimation, critical path analysis and stakeholder communication in their own organisation.

What delegates leave able to do

Improve cost estimation within their own organisation, measured against the PMBOK guide
Take ownership of critical path analysis rather than escalating it
Explain stakeholder communication to someone who does not do the work
Bring resource planning into line with current good practice
