1.1 Processes from PMBOK for stakeholder management
The management of stakeholders is an essential element to ensure success of a project or
event. Stakeholder management includes identifying people, groups or maybe organizations
which may be affected or may have impact on the project. It has been identified that there are
four major processes for stakeholder management in PMBOK. The description of the processes
for stakeholder management according to PMBOK is presented as below:
Identifying Stakeholders: In this process, people, groups or organizations will be identified that
may be affected or have impact on a project. The level of interest, power and impact of various
stakeholders will be analyzed with the help of this process. It is essential to identify the
stakeholders at the beginning so that appropriate strategies could be implemented for ensuring
that stakeholders could be managed efficiently (Nicholas & Steyn, 2017). The identification of
stakeholders prior to execution of the project will help to achieve positive outcomes and the
negative influences could be minimized. The stakeholders have to be identified at an early phase
of the project so that suitable business strategies could be designed and developed. It will ensure
that there is positive influence of the stakeholders by reducing the negative impact. There are
various tools and techniques that are widely used for identification and analysis of the
stakeholders. Project manager should ensure project success with the help of significant
influences that will be identified initially and managed effectively. The judgment from experts
will also help in identification and analysis of the project stakeholders (Sunder, 2016). The

engagement will be developed efficiently so that stakeholders could be involved in every stage of
the project. This process will include identification of the stakeholder expectations so that they
could be managed effectively. In this process, the communication requirements will be also
taken into consideration to ensure that the stakeholders are well aware of the deliverables of the
project (Sohi et al., 2016). The efficiency of the stakeholders could be implemented and the

the team members and stakeholders will be developed and maintained to ensure that successful
deliverables are achieved from the project. Further, a review be carried out on a regular basis and
the stakeholder engagement level have to be adjusted accordingly to align with the project
progress in case required. In this process, the stakeholders will be managed on a continuous basis
and in an iterative manner.
Managing Stakeholder engagement: This process will comprise of identifying and satisfying the
needs along with handling issues that may occur while maintaining stakeholder engagement in
the project. The main aim of this project is to increase the support and reduction of resistance
with the help of effective management to ensure engagement of internal as well as external
stakeholders (Elias, 2016). The involvement of stakeholders is an essential aspect likewise the
determination of their influence is also a major factor to ensure success of a project. The project
managers should be able to determine the influence and impact that the stakeholders will have on
the project prior to beginning of a project. The influence of the stakeholders continues to
decrease with the progress of project. The management of stakeholders efficiently will help to
decrease the risks so that there will be increased chances of project success. The managing of

requirements of the clients. The involvement of stakeholders will lead to success of a project
through proper planning and effective management.
