There are tables and tools provided here that you are to use to visually illustrate your engagement plan. They do not make up part of the word count and so you are required to provide the additional discussion expanding on what the tables suggest about your plan.
- Develop a stakeholder analysis for your example project. Identify as many stakeholders as you can using the example of Exhibit 5.3. List stakeholders by name and title where possible. Then prioritize the listed stakeholders as example of Exhibit 5.4. Be very specific regarding what each stakeholder is interested in. Recognize some stakeholders may have an interest in multiple aspects of the project process or results. Create a Stakeholder Matrix (register) as example of Exhibit 5.6.
- Describe the activities you are using to build relationships both within your core team and with other stakeholders. Create a project decision-making guide for your project as example of Exhibit 5.7. List specific examples of decisions to the extent you can.
- Create a stakeholder engagement assessment matrix as example of Exhibit 5.8.
- Develop a communications matrix for your project as example of Exhibit 5.11. Be sure to use considerations in Exhibit 5.10 for ideas regarding purpose, structure, method, and timing for each communication need.
- Document a project meeting with an advance agenda, meeting minutes, issues log, and Plus Delta form of evaluation like Exhibits 5.13 through 5.16. As you are not actually hosting the meeting, this is more of a role play whereby you anticipate whom would be involved and what issues such meetings might bring up.
