Course description
Managing Stakeholder Expectations - In House
Project Management is often described as getting a unique undertaking done, within established and agreed on constraints, in a manner that meets or exceeds the stakeholder expectations.
One of the more frustrating experiences for a project management team is to discover that their project is meeting all the specifications, but does not meet the expectations of a project sponsor or end-users, let alone exceed them!
This seminar takes a look at the major areas of project expectations; what causes them to form and what we can do about managing them for project success.
This interactive workshop utilizes brief lectures, guided discussion, short case studies, and hands-on application exercises in small teams. Participants are encouraged to share real life experiences and participate in class discussion.
