What you'll learn

Projects are undertaken by people to benefit people, so it should come as no surprise that managing relationships with them can make or break any initiative.

In this course, Communicating Effectively with Project Stakeholders, you'll learn how to manage stakeholder relationships and create communication plans that can help you reach your goals.

First, you’ll explore how to identify project stakeholders and group them in ways that can help you manage your project’s relationship with them effectively.

Then, you’ll see how to evaluate the relationship stakeholders have with your project and its prospective outcomes and how to use that information to tailor your approach to working with them.

Finally, you’ll learn how to create communication plans that allow you to reach stakeholders effectively, based on their needs and preferences, and based on what best serves the needs of the project.

By the end of this course, you’ll be better prepared to manage the critical relationships that can spell trouble or ensure success for your project’s important work.
