Project stakeholders come in all shapes and sizes. While the expectations of some stakeholders may be straightforward and closely aligned with project goals, others may have expectations which are unknown, or not achievable, given the purpose and scope of the project.

Developed in partnership with World Class Productivity (WCP), this course teaches you to navigate one of the most challenging aspects of many projects: managing stakeholder expectations. Learn to do it well, and you will have a much easier time, and be much more likely to achieve success across your team or organization. Do it poorly and, before you know it, you may be bogged down in endless meetings and complaints.

Learn the art of stakeholder management from expert instructors and gain the tools and confidence to communicate effectively, build strong relationships and exceed stakeholder expectations. 

This course can be taken as part of the Project Management Certificate.
