PMI Study Hall Question:

My Understanding of PM Concepts:

What I study and understand from PM concepts is whenever we identify any stakeholder first step is to add them in stakeholder register. 2nd step is, we will analyse them using Power/interest Grid which is 2 dimensional evaluation system. We can also use Salience Model as a tool for analyzing the stakeholders which uses the concept of Urgency and Legitimacy. 3rd step understand what our stakeholders think and what they are expecting from our project. We will collect all their requirements. 4th step is, we will update the stakeholder engagement plan to engage the stakeholders according to our analysis and collected requirements. 4th step is to update communication management plan for effective communication to fulfil stakeholder engagement plan.

Correct me if I am wrong or missing something...
