Episode 22: Collaborate with Stakeholders

Successful projects depend on active stakeholder collaboration. This episode focuses on evaluating stakeholder engagement needs, aligning expectations with project objectives, and building trust through transparent communication. We’ll examine techniques to optimize alignment and foster influence without authority — a frequent PMP exam theme.

We’ll also highlight scenarios where collaboration helps resolve misalignment before it becomes conflict. On the test, PMI favors answers that prioritize trust-building and long-term relationship health, not just short-term wins. By mastering this task, you’ll be equipped to drive engagement across diverse and sometimes competing stakeholders. Produced by BareMetalCyber.com.
