MODULE 6MODULE 6

Managing Stakeholder Relationships

Introduction

One of the most di�cult challenges in project management is managing the key stakeholders: the

in�uential people and groups both internal and external, who are a�ected by the project but may

have di�erent or competing agendas. The squeaky wheel is often that one that gets oiled, and the

same is true of the loudest or most demanding stakeholders who can take a project in an

undesirable direction based on a whim or a good idea. Stakeholder management is an important

issue in project management because project success is tied to successfully managing relationships

with the various stakeholders.

This module takes a look at how project managers must balance the interests of stakeholders,

despite sometimes con�icting objectives, and ensure that the project team interacts with

stakeholders in a professional and cooperative manner.
