Stakeholder Involvement: How Do I Involve My Stakeholders Best in an Agile Environment? – Jaap Dekkinga

One of the struggles I have seen when organizations transition to Agile in relation to the Agile principle “Customer Collaboration Over Contract Negotiation” is: When and how do I involve the right customer.

Goal of this presentation:

Provide tools on how to involve different types of stakeholders
Tool to identify different types of stakeholders
In the presentation I will explain the 2 step process of:

Step 1: map out the players for a value stream, product, or feature(set) in a simple 2×2 Stakeholders Matrix (influence/power and interest)
Step 2: Learn about the tools and techniques to involve players in each quadrant based on their specific strength or opportunity

Stakeholder Management: Navigating the Stakeholder Web – A Practitioner’s Experience – Sarah Andriani

Just like a spider sits in the middle of its web to monitor and react to motions in its complex frame of radius threads, the DSMD project manager plays a central role in monitoring and reacting to the various and complex needs of their many stakeholders. With so many stakeholders involved in demographic surveys, how do project managers handle the scope and challenges of stakeholder management?

This paper will discuss the project management methods and processes developed and used by the Management Operations Office of the Demographic Statistical Methods Division to most effectively manage the often competing needs of its internal and external stakeholders. I will detail the list of stakeholders and their relationships to the DSMD PM, outline the tools and processes developed to handle their individual needs with regard to scope, schedule and budget, provide practical examples of tailoring project management techniques for various clients, and highlight new stakeholder management processes currently in development.
