1. Identification and elaboration of the process for the event
1.1 Processes for stakeholder management
Stakeholder management refers to identification of people, groups or even organizations
that may have impact or be impacted from a project. According to PMBOK, it is identified that
there are four major processes for management of stakeholders as listed below:
Identification of Stakeholders – This process relates to identification of people as well as
organizations that could have impact or maybe impacted from the event. In this process, the level
of interest, involvement and the potential impact on success of the project will be determined
(Sunder 2016). The identification of stakeholders at an early stage is necessary so that suitable
strategies could be implemented such that positive influences could be maximized and negative
influences could be minimized.
The key input for stakeholder identification is Project charter which will be used to gather
information about the stakeholders who will be associated with the event. Procurement
documents is another input which will contain information about outsourcing and contract where
the parties involved are considered as stakeholders (Sohi et al. 2016). The enterprise
environmental factors as well as assets related to organizational processes will be used for
identification of stakeholders.
The tools that will be used for identification of stakeholders are stakeholder analysis,
expert judgment and meetings. The stakeholders who have significant influence will be managed

carefully to ensure success of the project (Elias 2016). Expert judgment will be used so
stakeholders could be easily identified and analyzed effectively. Meetings will be held so that
information about stakeholders could be exchanged.
The key output that will be achieved from this process is stakeholder register containing
information on stakeholder identification, assessment and classification.
Planning for Stakeholder Management – This process involves the development of
strategies that could be utilized for engaging the stakeholders effectively during the entire
project. The main activities that will be included in this process is identifying the expectations of
stakeholders so that those could be managed effectively. In this process, the communications will
be managed and improved (Sreedharan and Sunder 2018). The relationships between project
team and the stakeholders will be created and maintained in this process. Review will be done on
a constant basis and if required, the level of engaging stakeholders will be adjusted accordingly
with the progress of project. The management of stakeholders will be continuous and iterative.
The key inputs associated with this process are project management plan, stakeholder
register, enterprise environmental factors and organizational process assets. The project
management plan comprises of the information that are required for developing of the
stakeholder management plan. Stakeholder register which is the output achieved from previous
process and it helps to identify the important stakeholders (Kerzner 2017). Enterprise
environmental factors will also include the factors that are relevant for planning of stakeholders.
The organizational process assets are important for stakeholder planning however, the lessons
learnt along with historical information acquired from similar projects are also important.
The key tools for planning stakeholder management involves Expert judgment which
helps to determine the level of stakeholder involvement is required for success of a project.
Meetings will provide a forum to the project team or other experts for discussing the level of
stakeholder involvement to ensure success (Furterer 2016). Analytical techniques are used for
comparing of planned engagement levels with current and actual engagement levels by using
stakeholder classification scheme.
