Project Stakeholder Management

The Project Management Institute (PMI^®) are now in the process of updating their global standards documents:

• A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK^®Guide)

• The Standard for Program Management

• The Standard for Portfolio Management

• Organizational Project Management Maturity Model (OPM3®)

These standards are established by taking into account the knowledge, opinions and experiences of project teams, subject matter experts and project management practitioners. As such, exposure drafts of all these standards are now available for comments on the PMI website. Comments will be closed on 22 March 2008.

We are glad to see that the sections in all documents relating to Project Stakeholder Management have been expanded considerably, reflecting the importance of this subject to Project Managers and people working on projects globally. The guidelines given in the new documents follow the principles that we already established here at ProjectStakeholder.com with additional elements that we will incorporate into our Stakeholder Management model.
