They are kept satisfied with the funds for the plan.
The key requirement of Intelligent Information Inc. is to keep the stakeholders engaged into the project plan. There are five stakeholder management strategies which are used to manage the engagement of stakeholders into the project plan:
- Development of list of people who are required to hire for the implementation of big data analytics and the business organization should have capability to impact both positively and negatively the issues (Montero et al. 2015).
- There should be segmentation of stakeholders based on understanding the degree of capability to impact the desired project outcomes such as high, medium and low (Carroll and Buchholtz, 2014).
- The project owner is assigned to manage the stakeholders based on level of their potential impacts. The low impact stakeholders are also assigned to some of the project activities.
- A project timeline is determined for regular communication purposes for the key stakeholders to ensure that they are up to date on the requirements to support the organizational goals (Cukier et al. 2014).
- The key messages are delivered to the project stakeholders based on their interest (Garcia?Castro and Francoeur, 2016). A communication plan is mainly required to interact with the stakeholders to understand them their responsibilities into the project plan.
