Project Stakeholder Management

Project Integration Management
Processes required to ensure that the various elements
of the project are Properly coordinated.
Making tradeoffs among competing Objectives and
alternatives to meet or exceed stakeholder needs and
expectations.
•Plan Development
•Plan Execution
•Integrated Change Control
•Project Charter
•Life Cycle and Milestones
•Project Stakeholders 3
Needs vs. Expectation

Project Scope Management
Processes required to ensure that the project includes
the work requires and only the work requires, to
complete the project successfully.
•Initiation
•Scope Planning, Definition and Verification
•Scope Change Control
•Requirements Definition

The systematic process of identifying, analyzing, and
responding to project risk. It includes maximizing the
probability and consequences of positive events and
minimizing the probability and consequences of adverse
events to project Objectives.

attain project scope, from outside the performing
organization.

Project Stakeholder Management (added in 2013)
Processes required to identify all individuals or
organizations impacted by the project, analyzing
stakeholder expectations and impact on the project,
and developing the appropriate management
strategies for effectively engaging stakeholders in
project decisions and execution.
• Identification of Stakeholders
• Planning Stakeholder Management
• Managing Stakeholder Engagement
• Controlling Stakeholder Engagement

What is going to be our Approach for the
Project?
• The first decision made on any project is what
methodology/approach is best suited for that
type of project
• One size/type Project Management approach
does not fit all projects…comfortably
What are some choices?

Taxonomy of Project Management Approaches
• Traditional/Waterfall Approach
– In play for 50 years….Origin in engineering / construction
– Projects will follow a very detailed plan that is built before any
work is done on the project…plan is linear
– “Best Practices”…… PMI doctrine
• Traditional Approach works well when:
– The project goal and solution are clearly defined
– You do not expect many scope change requests
– The projects are often routine, repetitive and linear
• NOTE: The completed project can be deployed
incrementally:
– To start harvesting business value
– To deal with the likelihood of some change requests

• Adaptive (Agile) Approach
– What if the goal is clear but the solution is not clear?
– Project will follow a very detailed plan (not built at the
beginning of the project)…the plan is built in stages at the
completion of each project cycle/phase… it is iterative.
– The budget and time line is specified at the outset of the project
• Adaptive Approach works well:
– If you feel the requirements are apt to change
– If you feel you will learn about remaining requirements during
the course of doing the project
– If the project is oriented to new product development or
process improvement
– If the development schedule is tight and you can’t afford rework
or planning
– Requires that empowered individuals are readily available for
input.

• Extreme Approach
– The goal is not clear…solution is not clear
– Projects do not follow a plan in the manner deployed
with the traditional or adaptive approaches
– The project proceeds based on informed, non-specific
“guesses” of what the final goal (or solution) will be
– At the conclusion of each cycle, what was learned or
discovered is factored into a newly specified goal
– Uses an open, elastic, undeterministic approach. Best
fitted for R&D Projects

Measuring and Reporting – Metrics
(Can build trust, communicate progress, expose problems and illustrate
effectiveness of the Process)
Traditional/Waterfall Adaptive/Agile
• Focus is on tracking efforts
on each activity
• GANTT Chart
• Percent complete
• Time per team member per
task
• Actual time versus
estimated time
• Focus on tracking what has been
incrementally delivered
• Velocity
• Burn Down – what features have
been completed
• Burn Up – what features have
been promised
• Running tested features
• Defect density
• Cycle time
• Code quality
• Earned Business Value
