Setting Strategies to Manage Stakeholders Expectations

Saturday October 19, 2024 10:15am - 11:15am MST

Every successful project hinges on not just planning and execution, but on how well we engage and manage our stakeholders. These are the individuals or groups who can affect or be affected by our projects. Understanding their needs, expectations, and influences is crucial to navigating the complex landscapes in which we operate. Effective stakeholder management ensures smoother project execution, minimizes conflicts, and fosters a collaborative environment conducive to success.

During this interactive workshop, we will learn how to identify and categorize stakeholders effectively and develop tailored engagement strategies to manage diverse stakeholder groups. This workshop is designed to be a dynamic learning environment where we all contribute to each other’s understanding.

Learning Objectives:
1. Apply the Power-Interest Grid towards your projects to identify and categorize your stakeholders effectively.
2. Outline tailored strategies to engage diverse stakeholder groups by understanding their expectations, influence, and the best communication channels.
3. Explore techniques to communicate, negotiate and resolve conflicts with stakeholders in each category.

Is Scrum Dead or Are we all Agilist Now?

Saturday October 19, 2024 3:00pm - 4:00pm MST

Ventana B

We all use project management methodologies and tools. Many of us also incorporate Agile frameworks into our projects and teams. For years, we’ve heard debates about Waterfall or Agile. Which one will win? What if we now live in a world that incorporates Agile thinking into project and operations management? Maybe all of us PMs are also Agilists now. Join us to consider what this means for the future of project management!
