Getta Byte SoftwareStakeholder and Communications Management

Ima: Before we get started, we need to know who our stakeholders are?

Hugh: I thought stakeholders were vampire hunters! Haha! Get it?

Ima: Very funny. A stakeholder is anyone who is impacted, positively or negatively, by the project.

Kent: The most important group - our customers are stakeholders!

Hugh: The CEO, CFO, and Accounts Payable are all stakeholders.

Nonia: The team, all of us, are stakeholders!

Kent: The billing staff and accounting are all stakeholders.

Nonia: The sales team are definitely stakeholders. Their commissions depend on billing.

Ima: Perfect, let's take a look at our stakeholder management plan.

Ima: Now, we are going to have to refine it so we can use it to make communication management decisions.

So, how would you complete GettaByte's Stakeholder Management Plan?

Ima: Now, for our communication plan.

Kent: I know how to do that. I talk all the time!

Ima: That's not exactly it. We have to decide what kinds of communication we are going to use, how often, and who our audience will be. We can use our stakeholder management plan to make decisions about communication. I've already taken a stab at it. What do you think?

So, how would you complete GettaByte's Communication Management Plan?

Ima: Well, that's it. We have a Charter, Scope, Schedule, Risk Management Plan, Stakeholder Management and Communication Plans!

Hugh: Finally!!!
