Case Study

You have been brought in by senior administration as the lead business analyst for a very high-stake project at BABOK university. This project is an institution re-engineering project that will affect the overall organization.

The university president, Mr. Grey, is very interested in the success of this project, because it is expected to bring the institution closer to "Decolonial Indigenization," as outlined in the article:Indigenization as inclusion, reconciliation, and decolonization: navigating the different visions for indigenizing the Canadian Academy(you will need to login to your library account using yourUMnetID, and then click onSage CRKN Collection).

The project is still in the planning phase and your task is to develop a stakeholder engagement approach for the project. The first day on the project, the PM emailed you the project charter and the below stakeholder analysis chart and stakeholder list.

While reviewing the stakeholder analysis chart, you discovered all the stakeholders are positive and supportive of the project and your understanding is if they are not engaged appropriately, the interest will diminish.

You are required to develop a stakeholder engagement approach to help get buy-ins and keep the identified stakeholders engaged during the project. Consider the collaboration expectations for each stakeholder and their communication needs. Ensure you provide explanations for your reasoning for your chosen methods.

Your stakeholder engagement plan should be organized within a table that is clear, has logical sequencing, and has minimal spelling and grammar mistakes.
