About This Course
Every project relies on stakeholders — individuals, groups, or organisations that can affect or be affected by project decisions. Understanding who these stakeholders are and how to manage them effectively is a core skill for any project manager. This course introduces you to stakeholder identification, engagement, and communication practices within the Project Management Framework (PMF). You’ll learn how to analyse stakeholder influence and interest, track their expectations, and maintain clear, consistent communication throughout the project lifecycle.
You’ll explore each stage of stakeholder management, from building a stakeholder register to executing engagement strategies and reporting progress. Through real-world examples, you’ll see how effective management increases confidence, alignment, and project momentum. You’ll also discover how progress reporting, governance, and approvals work together to build stakeholder trust and project success.
