Project teams include everyone who has a say in what happens during the project life cycle. The project manager needs to be able to coordinate the project’s milestones with everyone on the project team, as well as coordinate who among the stakeholders has the interest and power to complete the various milestones.
In this assessment, you will create a power/interest grid and develop a stakeholder matrix to analyze the stakeholder relationships and how to improve the collaboration for successful project implementation.
Assessment Preparation
Read the following scenario:
Mark is a project manager at a financial institution where data security is a top priority. Akeasha, the head of IT, has launched a project to replace any illegally installed software on the organization’s workstations with legal versions. Mark’s role is to collaborate with employees and department heads to ensure the project’s success. While most stakeholders are supportive, Angela, the head of investments, and Enrique, the head of customer relations, have been challenging to work with. Angela often claims she does not receive Mark’s emails, while Enrique only responds to Mark in person due to his busy schedule.
Mark’s goal is to improve his collaboration with Angela and Enrique while maintaining strong engagement with other stakeholders to successfully implement the project.
