Every project has stakeholders—individuals, groups, and organizations that may be impacted by the project or may impact the project in a negative or positive manner. Your stakeholders have different views. Some are resistant. Some are neutral. Others are supportive or leading. Do you have a stakeholder engagement plan ?

Hi and thanks for your comments Nico. What’s in a name? Project owner, project sponsor… I think that the name does not matter. What does matter though is the need to ensure that the person carries out a role that adds value to the project management process. I have run many project sponsor workshops where I take people through a job role (after discussions and getting agreement with the company).

The regular rhythm of your project is ticked out by your project reporting cycle. Quarterly, monthly, fortnightly, or weekly… you’re there again. It’s time to produce your regular project report. Project reporting is as much a part of project life as weekends and annual holidays form part of the fabric of our wider lives. They tick off passing time and are a core part of what we do.

Hi Ron, As my reply shows I disagree, Ron. Semantics are very important. The role “Sponsor” has a very different meaning to people than e.g. the role “Owner”, which will be reflected in their behavior taking on accountability and responsibility. This is basically why using the term “Sponsor” will make the feeling of accountability disappear.

We’ve all seen idyllic 8mm home movies from summer vacations of bygone eras. A swim-capped child waves at the camera before cannonballing into a lake. An apron-wearing dad sips a beer and flips burgers. A mom in horn-rimmed glasses waves sparklers in the air as the evening sky turns pink over the ocean. These were the vacations we thought we’d have: tranquil, disconnected, and perfect.
