PMI Metrolina

Presentation: Steven Freund - Understanding Stakeholders

Description:
The status reports provided to upper management went unread. You did your research to determine what information was needed and how often it was required. So, what went wrong? You listened to what management said, but did you really hear?

Stakeholders have different perspectives and understandings of what a project will provide and the issues surrounding that project. What a project manager must understand are those various perspectives regarding a project. But how do you do that? There is no "book" on what people are thinking. This session will focus on the "doing" part of stakeholder analysis by using a mini-case study. What you will come out of this session with is experience in working though stakeholder analysis. We will work on identifying stakeholders, consider their various perspectives, and how to focus the project by creating a problem statement that takes into account what the project is supposed to accomplish.

Chapter Meeting Presentations

As a means of helping chapter and local community members who are certified as a Project Management Professional (PMP®) satisfy the continuing education requirements for re-certification, PMI Metrolina Chapter arranges its monthly meeting schedule to allow a 1 hour PDU training session to be incorporated into its normal meeting.

Topics presented during these sessions are designed to not only satisfy the PDU requirement for re-certifying as a PMP, but to also provide wide appeal to people involved in project management regardless of whether or not they are certified PMPs. The 1-hour sessions meet the educational requirements to qualify for 1 PDU credits for maintaining PMP® certification or to meet the requirement for attending 35 hours of formal project management education prior to applying to sit for the PMP® exam.

The sessions are open to all.

Meetings are located at the Blake Hotel
555 South McDowell St.
Charlotte, NC 28273
