Representatives of different stakeholders often believe they have different interests in a project.
This frequently leads to conflicts of interest, which in turn creates a whole range of negative effects, increasing the analyst's workload:
- problematic approvals of proposed architectural solutions;
- additional comments during demonstrations of implemented functionality;
- increased criticism of documentation;
- etc.
In other words, a stakeholder can become so loyal to you as if you have “recruited” them.
In this talk, I will examine the nuances of stakeholder communications that enable their “recruitment”:
- techniques that help increase stakeholder loyalty;
- communication mistakes that should be avoided;
- factors that influence stakeholder loyalty;
- how to benefit from a stakeholder’s personal loyalty.
