Communication management between stakeholders
Stakeholders are one of the important characters present in any project. The involvement
of the stakeholders is the most important aspect required in any project. It is clear that the
presence of the stakeholders affects the dynamics of the project. It can regulate the success of the
project even its failure. The effective inclusion of stakeholder’s opinions, needs, perspectives and
thoughts regulates the steps of the project and it can regulate the efficient operations and lead to
the success of the project (Allen et al., 2014). The changes in the need and demand of the
stakeholders at the initial planning phase can be documented to increase the productivity with the
effective technique of change management. Hence, the active participation and feedback
received from the stakeholders time to time will increase the efficiency of the project.
The most important requirement in the project is the communication of the internal and
the external stakeholders in a project. The internal stakeholders are the managers, employee and
the external stakeholders are the vendors, suppliers, etc. (Mishra, Boynton & Mishra, 2014) All
the stakeholders can be engaged by keeping regulatory meeting regarding the project and
formulate communication engagement program. The difference in the objective of the
stakeholders must be minimized by the project manager.
