Despite increasingly complex projects, the topic of Stakeholder Management is often neglected until issues arise. This often results in project delays, increased cost, and/or scope changes.

Because the PMI believes Stakeholder Management requires a stronger focus, it included a new chapter on this subject in the 5th edition of the PMBOK.

This webinar will be led by a member of the team that wrote the new chapter, and will focus on what a project manager needs to do to put theory into practice in their day-to-day projects.
