PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Introduction
The paper mainly focuses on the impact and role of utilizing processes as well as
different approaches of Lean PM within “FIFA 2022 World Cup football tournament” that
will be held in Qatar. As per the allegation from the press, it is identified that Qatar may lose
the position of hosting the world cup event due to bad weather condition. As the committee
of football in Qatar is quite interested in hosting the football tournament, they generally
planned to dismantle different parts of the stadium to other developing countries in order to
construct a new stadium.
The report mainly showcases on the arrangement that is generally made for the World
cup tournament that further provides detailed information about the project management
practices and processes. In addition to this, it is found that both the processes of PMBOK as
well as Prince2 are used for managing the stakeholders. It is found that proper steps, as well
as processes, are generally used for implementing the lean project management. Moreover,
the paper reflects on the PMBOK, PRINCE2, PM, agile practices as well as DMAIC
methodology that is mainly utilized for implementing the lean project management.
1.0 Elaboration of different project management processes
1.1 Processes of managing stakeholders
The stakeholder management plan is generally defined as one of the important
approaches that is used for determining the human resources as well as an organization which
are generally connected with the project either directly or indirectly. It is found that the
attitude of the stakeholders can generally create an impact on the football tournament event
either positively or negatively (Waligo et al., 2015). As per the PMBOK approach, it is
identified that there are four different steps that are required to be used in order to manage the
stakeholders of the project. The steps are generally elaborated below:
Identification of project stakeholder
Identification of project stakeholder is considered as one of the initial and most
important steps in managing the project stakeholder. It is found that this is one of the process
group that generally identifies every individual that are generally affected positively by the
project outcomes (Mok, Shen & Yang, 2015). The stakeholder identification process is so
much fundamental for the existence of the project that is mainly specified by the PMBOK.
The most important components that are mainly related to the stakeholder identification

PROJECT MANAGEMENT
process generally includes inputs, outputs as well as tools. The inputs generally include
project charter, business documents, communication plan, project documents whereas the
outputs include stakeholder register, change requests, project documents updates (Harrison et
al. 2015). Moreover, the tools and techniques that are needed for stakeholder management
generally include expert judgement, data gathering, data analysis as well as data
representation.
Planning of stakeholder management
This type of process group generally includes various types of project management
strategies that are generally needed for engaging with the stakeholders quite effectively. This
is generally considered as one of the important parts of the project management plan. In this
step, the interaction of each of the project stakeholders with others are generally specified
(Waligo, Clarke & Hawkins, 2014). In addition to this, it is found that in order to manage the
project stakeholders, their level of interest as well as steps for controlling them are also
specified in this step. Moreover, it is found that all the concerns of the project stakeholder are
generally reflected as well as analyzed successfully for making sure that the entire project is
generally set up for achieving success (Garcia‐Castro & Francoeur, 2016). It is found that in
order to host the FIFA 2022 World cup football tournament, it is very much necessary to
have proper communication approach so that by using this particular approach, the team
members can be able to communicate successfully within the project. The project
stakeholders need to use appropriate communication while having interaction with the project
team members so that the team members can easily share their ideas and thoughts regarding
the project and further the entire project will be executed quite successfully.
Managing the stakeholder engagement
It is found that within the entire project, the stakeholders are required to be consulted
for ensuring that the needs of the project are met successfully. In this particular step, the
higher authority of the project needs to implement various types of effective approaches with
the help of which the project stakeholder generally keeps themselves engage (Yang & Shen,
2014). A communication plan, project management plan and interpersonal skills are
generally utilized by the project managers for getting updates about the project, issue log as
well as a change request. In addition to this, the other type of approaches that are helpful in
engaging the stakeholders within the project generally includes reward, active listening, trust
and more (Bridoux & Stoelhorst, 2014). It is found that this type of interpersonal skills is
