Strategic Project Management

Assessment - Stakeholder Management Plan

Diagrammatic analysis 2000

Your task
Individually, you are required to complete a comprehensive stakeholder management plan based on your work in the first assessments. N.B.: If the proposed project is not utilised, the assessment will be graded zero (0).

Assessment Description
This assessment aims to foster students' ability to evaluate and determine project viability, including the analysis required in the selection process. This will also form a part of students' ability to create project portfolios that meet an organisation's strategic goals and requirements and analyse project lifecycles and the processes involved in project development. Students will also demonstrate the criteria required to evaluate the success of projects based on an organisation's goals, strategy, and standards, as well as analyse the project lifecycle and the process involved in project development.

Assessment Instructions
Presume that you are advancing for the project and have now been asked to prepare a detailed risk analysis and stakeholder management plan before commencing the project. Complete a comprehensive risk assessment of your project feasibility analysis linked directly to the case study. In addition, complete a stakeholder management plan, in which you will propose ways to manage the relationships between the stakeholder groups identified in the case study and the proposals you have put forward in the first assessment. Your analysis needs to be directly linked to the case study.

Your risk analysis should be approximately 800 words. In it, you must include the concepts studied in weeks 4 and 5, accompanied by at least one or more risk assessment techniques, such as a risk assessment grid or project risk picture. You must identify potential risks in addition to your research on the project and its site by clearly outlining how these will be managed.

Your stakeholder management plan should be approximately 1200 words. In it, you must follow an appropriate, professional presentation style addressing the client who has commissioned the project. It should include the identification of the various stakeholders, their interests and influence over the project, and a clear outline of the engagement strategy for each stakeholder group. Please don't forget to outline the appropriate objectives and measures for the various stakeholders, using the relevant frameworks, concepts and diagrammatic tables, as necessary, to explain your reasoning clearly and concisely.

You must use at least ten (10) sources of information and reference appropriately. These may include websites, social media sites, industry reports, census data, journal articles, and newspaper articles. These references should be presented as in-text citations and a reference list at the end of your written analysis (not included in the word limit). Wikipedia and other ‘popular' sites are not to be used.
