Business Case $($Please see Module $3,$ Part $1$ and Figure $3-11$ of the course textbook$)$

Project Charter $($Please see Module $3,$ Part $2$ and Figure $3-16$ of the course textbook$)$

Stakeholder Register $($Please see Module $3,$ Part $2,$ and Figure $3-13$ of the course textbook$).$ The register should include a minimum of fifteen stakeholders in total internal and external to the organization.

Perform stakeholder analysis for each stakeholder based on their level of authority $($power$)$ and their level of concern $($interest$).$

Create a power$/$interest grid including all the stakeholders $($Please see Module $3,$ Part $2,$ and Figure $3-14$ of the course textbook. Verify the stakeholder engagement level and describe high$-$level stakeholder engagement strategies. The engagement strategies must be specific to your project. For example, some stakeholders may need to be $$managed closely$.$ Describe at a high level how will this be done based on the needs of your project.
