Unit IV

Course Project Part 4:Stakeholder Plan

For the project selected in Unit I, create an abbreviated stakeholder management plan. Your plan should follow the process for planning stakeholder management, as referred to in Table 4.1 in the textbook.

The deliverable for this element of the project is a table that you may create in Word or Excel. The table should include at minimum 10 project stakeholders using the following headings:

· Stakeholder

· Communication Needs

· Method/Medium

· Timing/Frequency

Further, each stakeholder is labeled in the table using the PMBOK® Guide categories:

· Unaware

· Resistant

· Neutral

· Supportive

· Leading

Finally, include a column for Strategies to succinctly list your planned approach to the management of each stakeholder. Note: In Unit VIII of this course, you will include a summary of your stakeholder plan as part of a PowerPoint presentation.

The Euro-DisneyProject:Stakeholders Misunderstood?

Disney launched a new theme park in Europe in 1992 and faced immediate disappointing results. Read the articles in Required Resources, and in addition, feel free to search for additional articles in the CSU Online library to use in answering the following questions:

1. Assume that you were the project manager for the Euro Disney theme park launch. What in your view are the top five stakeholder groups that you would have identified?

2. What categories would you assign to each of the identified categories? (Use unaware, resistant, neutral, supportive, and leading as your categories.)

3. What strategies would you employ to address resistant stakeholder groups? Would your selected strategies differ in any way from managing stakeholders within your home country? Why, or why not?

4. Briefly describe what you believe Disney got wrong in their stakeholder identification and management.

Please note that no abstract is needed. This formal paper example provided by the CSU Writing Center shows this type of formatting.
