PM Tip 1



Project Management Tips
Between today and the end of February, we’ll be posting Project Management tips a few times a week.  With organizations with knowledge workers working on projects on a regular basis, we’ve discovered a big need to develop these “unofficial project managers” with a basic understanding of effective project management principles.  With our new solution, Project Management Essentials for theUnofficial Project Manager the right mind-set, skill-set and tool-set to increase overall project effectiveness, productivity and employee engagement. 

Below is our first tip of the series.  We hope this helps!

Project Management Tip #1

Differentiate stakeholders from key stakeholders.  Be sure to interview the key stakeholders.  While all stakeholders are important, with limited time and resources, you must focus your energy on understanding the needs of the key stakeholders.


Stakeholder Definition: A person or organization that is involved in the project or that is positively or negatively impacted by it.


Key Stakeholder Definition: Any person who determines the success or failure of the project. Key Stakeholders generally have one or more of the following attributes – budget, authority, direct need, connections, and positive or negative energy.
