How can I effectively manage stakeholder expectations in my project?

Managing stakeholder expectations involves clear communication, setting realistic goals, and regular updates. What specific challenges are you facing?

I have stakeholders who want different things, and it's hard to keep everyone happy.

It's crucial to prioritize their needs and find common ground. Have you considered creating a stakeholder map to identify their interests?

No, I haven't. How do I create a stakeholder map?

A stakeholder map visually represents your stakeholders and their interests. Start by listing them, then categorize by influence and interest. Would you like a template?

Yes, that would be helpful! Also, how often should I communicate with them?

Regular communication is key. Consider weekly updates for active projects and monthly check-ins for less active ones. Tailor the frequency based on their needs.
