Module 6 Discussion
The Situation: You are the project manager for a project
that involves two departments in your company. The larger department is paying
for 80% of your project. The smaller department is paying 20%. The department
manager of the smaller department is requesting modifications nearly every
week. Your stakeholder management plan was based on your company’s standard
template. You have been following the approved stakeholder management plan. You
look at the issues log and see that there are four open issues. These open
issues and possibly future requests for modifications could impact the
completion date.
The Assignment: Obviously something must be changed to
better control this situation. What tools and techniques would you choose to
control this stakeholder’s engagement? What process outputs do you expect to
create? What else, if anything, would you do? Prepare a response consisting of
a minimum of 500 words. Include at least three credible references in addition
to the PMBOK®Guide with at least one of these being a peer-reviewed journal
article. Properly cite your response.
