(Indrawati & Ridwansyah, 2015). According to the book, the stakeholder management
process helps in recognizing the people, groups and organization associated with the event.
The elements associated with the each stakeholder possess the capacity of effecting the
project (Hutchins, 2016). The project can be effected positively as well as negatively with the
use of these components. Thus it becomes important to have a proper idea of implementing
these components. Thus each stakeholder’s roles are needed to be known from the beginning.
With the help of PMBOK the major process associated with the stakeholders are described,
this includes engagement plans of stakeholders, identification of the stakeholders associated
with the event, management plan of stakeholders, and controlling the stakeholder engagement
with the event.
After reviewing the PMBOK it is clear that stakeholder management process involves
some stakeholders for managing the event. However each stakeholder has their own impact
towards the project and has the capability of impacting the project positively and negatively.
Apart from these there are several stakeholders associate with each events that possess the
capability of influencing the whole project and holds more power than other stakeholders
(Nicholas & Steyn, 2017). However apart from the roles played by the stakeholders it is the
responsibility of the project manager to manage the tasks and events properly in order to
make the project successful. Success and failure of a project is completely dependent on how
the project manager assigns the role and responsibility of each team members and
stakeholders associated with the projects (Hornstein, 2015). In order to manage the
responsibility of stakeholders associated with the events it is important to manage the
stakeholders of the project. The steps for understanding the roles of each stakeholder’s
associated with FIFA World Cup Tournament are described below:
 It becomes important to identify the potential stakeholders associated with the event.
 Proper communication needs to be maintained along with the stakeholders of the events.
 Every stakeholder needs to understand the requirements and expectation of project managers
from that event.
 It becomes important to develop professional project management strategies for every
stakeholders
 Understanding and analysing the interest, influence and capability of stakeholders associated
with the project.
 Every stakeholder needs to be aware of their responsibility.
In order to have a proper knowledge about the need of stakeholder it becomes
important to understand and identify each stakeholders separately.
