A Call to Action

Abstract

Project management is a mature discipline, supported by professional bodies, standards, extensive training resources and a huge literature. The same can increasingly be said for the newer, related disciplines of change management, programme management and portfolio management. One mark of their maturity is that component parts of these disciplines have become respected specialisms in their own right: estimating, planning and scheduling, resource management and risk management. In each of these areas, project managers have built up significant bodies of knowledge and toolsets, to the extent that experts can specialise and call themselves planners, resource managers and risk managers. I would like to see stakeholder engagement management join these specialisms. Like them, it is a crucial part of the success of any project or programme, there is a body of techniques and tools to learn and deploy, and it requires experience, skills and knowledge to do well.
