Project
Management Stakeholders
Everything that
is not within the project scope, but is essential for the project
(such as outsourced programming), is assigned to a stakeholder, who
completes and signs a stakeholder agreement.
In other words,
Project management (PM) is the application of skills, knowledge,
tools, and techniques in order to meet or exceed Project Management
Stakeholders requirements. This course is designed to introduce the
project management life cycle and to show where a project begins and
ends. You will learn how to divide a project into several project
phases to better control project deliverables.
The Project
Mission and Stakeholders: Mission
statements should be developed for every project in order to set
goals and objectives, and to provide guidelines for making
decisions. You will have to learn to develop a mission statement for
a project team and Project Management Stakeholders. You will have to
learn to establish objectives, manage stakeholder expectations and
detail project feasibility.
In traditional
project management, Project Management Stakeholders are expected to
take on responsibilities, but there's no accountability. For
example, if a subtask is to be outsourced and the stakeholder
doesn't get around to it, the project team may end up doing the task
by default, expanding scope and increasing risk without any
recognition that it's doing so. To avoid this, it's essential to
formally analyze, negotiate and agree in writing with each critical
stakeholder on the services that are expected, the dates or timing
of services, cost to the stakeholder of providing the service, and
an alternate source for obtaining the service.
Over time, PMI
has become, and continues to be, the leading professional
association in project management. Members and project management
stakeholders can take advantage of the extensive products and
services offered through PMI. Project management gives stakeholders
a vision of the project up front and the discipline to reach that
vision. Without project management, stakeholders keep going back to
their individual wish lists, and a $3 million project can become a
$7 million project. In that case, spending $100,000 on Fred and
project management is the cheaper option. In the end, project
management saves you money and time and gets you what you
want.
When
you, as a project manager, accept responsibility for a project, you
accept the schedule, timeline, deadlines, resources, and
expectations set out at the start. Now you can make sure you're
asking the right questions for each project by utilizing the tools,
checklists, and information from projectmanagementsurvival.
Now
you can manage your risk project according to best practice
standards. You'll have the details and plans in place to handle
whatever arises during a project's duration—setting appropriate
expectations for timelines, milestones, and deliverables. And,
ensure success for each and every project with resources on:
- Ensuring you
have the necessary equipment and resources available
- Properly
documenting all project activities
- Identifying staff skills by roles needed
