Stakeholder management in IT projects: Management in this context includes stakeholder communications.
Stakeholder management in IT projects: Stakeholders are people or groups who can influence, or be impacted by, an IT project. One of the most important tasks of any modern project manager is managing relationships with the key stakeholders.
In this research you will study stakeholder management in a real IT project from your own experience. For example, you could evaluate stakeholder management in a project that has recently completed.
Or you could study a future project, assess the stakeholder management challenges, and create a plan for dealing with them. Management in this context includes stakeholder communications, and the biggest part of successful stakeholder management is good communications.
