Stakeholder Management

A project manager must prioritize stakeholders depending upon on who they are, what level of influence they have on the project, and what their interests are. Which of the following techniques helps in stakeholder prioritization?

Stakeholder engagement matrix
Stakeholder register
Stakeholder classification models
Resource histograms

Answer 1

Stakeholder classification models are used during stakeholder analysis to rank stakeholders based on their power, influence, interest, and impact.

Question 2

A project manager first creates an assumption log during the Develop Project Charter process and records all project assumptions and constraints. During which of the following processes is the assumptions log updated and/or new assumptions and constraints added during the project execution?

Monitor and Control Project Work
Close Project or Phase
Direct and Manage Project Work

During the Direct and Manage Project Work process, new assumptions and constraints are added to the assumption log, and the status of existing assumptions and constraints may be updated and closed out. The other process do not directly update the assumptions log as an output of the process.
