Stop Being Difficult! How to Handle Challenging Stakeholders  

Speaker: Betsy Stockdale

Title: PMI-PBA, CSM, Business Architect

Company: Argon Digital

June 14, 2022

Presentation Description

Do you ever find yourself in a meeting with challenging stakeholders? Ones that are indecisive, political, too quiet, use emotions to make decisions about project scope, or even ones that yell at you?

Whether you are a Project Manager, Product Manager, or Business Analyst, anyone with the responsibility of facilitating communication across stakeholder groups must be well versed in managing the inevitable arduous stakeholder. Different aspects of the relationship need to be managed through the requirements, design, implementation, verification, and launch phases of a project. In rapid moving agile development environments, these skills can be even more critical.

The primary learning objectives are:

  1. Participants will learn how to identify different types of difficult stakeholders.
  2. Participants will learn how to use business objectives and influential techniques to negotiate consensus with difficult stakeholders.
  3. Participants will learn specific recommendations on how to work with different types of difficult stakeholders to make their projects wildly successful.
