This process is performed throughout the project.
Managing stakeholder engagement helps to ensure that stakeholders clearly understand the project goals, objectives, benefits, and risks for the project, as well as how their contribution will enhance project success.
The communications management plan describes the methods, formats, and technologies used for stakeholder communication.
The risk management plan describes the risk categories, risk appetites, and reporting formats that can be used to manage stakeholder engagement.
The stakeholder engagement plan provides guidance and information on managing stakeholder expectations.
The change management plan describes the process for submitting, evaluating and implementing changes to the project.
Change requests and their status are documented in the change log and communicated to the appropriate stakeholders.
Any project or stakeholder concerns are documented in the issue log, as well as any assigned action items associated with managing the issue.
Lessons learned earlier in the project with regard to managing stakeholder engagement can be applied to later phases in the project to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of this process.
The stakeholder register provides the list of project stakeholders and any information needed to execute the stakeholder engagement plan.
