Catalyze Webcast - Designing a Sure-Fire Stakeholder Communication Strategy
Since communication with stakeholders is a critical success factor for every project, Barbara Carkenord from B2T Training will explain how to design a sure-fire strategy for developing a communication plan.
Both business analysts and usability professionals will be more effective when they think ahead about how best to communicate with their stakeholders. This presentation provides attendees with a communication planning technique that can easily be used on any project.
Planning analysis work involves three areas: People, Project, and Process. The project team must understand the characteristics of the stakeholders, the background of the project, and their organization’s environment to plan and estimate their work. This presentation will focus on the people component of planning and will cover the Who, What, Where, When and How of stakeholder communications.
Planning doesn’t have to be a lengthy process, an excellent team member will quickly assess stakeholder needs and develop a plan for working with stakeholders. Even on a relatively small project, spending time planning before eliciting requirements will bring tangible benefits.
The 3 learning objectives from this presentation include:
- How the 3 P’s are involved in the planning process
- How best to identify stakeholders and determine which will drive the project.
- How to think through your stakeholder’s communication needs before requirements elicitation.
