Unit IV Introduction

In this unit, we will look at the planning phase.

 

By the end of this unit you should be able to:

Recommend processes of project stakeholder management.

Derive a simple stakeholder management plan.

Examine engaging stakeholders in global environments.

Identify stakeholders in a global project context.

Determine the strategies in the stakeholder management plan

 

To aid you in accomplishing these goals, you will need to complete the 3 following graded activities/assignments:

 

1 Discussion on opposition to a project and what we can do to turn that around

1 Course Project where you create an abbreviated stakeholder management plan

1 Case Study on Disney where you will address four specific questions (See 4 questions below)

 

The assigned reading from the study guide, textbook, and additional articles is a non-graded activity for the week.  However, it will prove to be valuable in completing the graded activities.
