Project Stakeholder Management

Project Stakeholder Management 

Project Stakeholder Management focuses on understanding the needs and influence of people involved in or affected by a project. These individuals or groups, called stakeholders, may support or oppose the project depending on how it impacts them. Managing stakeholders means identifying them early, understanding their expectations, and maintaining open communication throughout the project lifecycle.

This process plays a big role in achieving project success. It helps build positive relationships, prevents misunderstandings, and ensures that everyone involved feels included and heard. From planning through execution, managing stakeholder engagement is essential for smooth progress and successful project delivery.
