I have read several book son project management over the past two years. This is the best book I have read. It provides excellent information in a very easy to understand manner. It includes useful templates as well. If you are thinking about buying a book on project management and engaging stakeholders, this very well may be your book. I highly recommend it.

First, although Stakeholder Engagement Essentials You Always Wanted to Know is very much grounded in reality and practical skills, it also heavily leans on A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide). I feel the focus on what the PMBOK® Guide says makes the book better for people who work in organizations that draw their methods from the PMI ways of working.
If you work in an organization that uses a different methodology, you obviously can still learn from the book and apply the core skills.
However, we need books like this, that provide accessible, realistic entry points for people starting out in their careers. Stakeholder Engagement Essentials is clear, precise, and basically a playbook for doing the project management aspects of working with others. It covers:
• Stakeholder identification
• Mapping and analysis
• Creating a stakeholder engagement plan and looping project communications into that
• Working through challenging situations.
If you are new to project management, new to leading project teams – even if you have a lot of other, related business experience in a different field – then this will be relevant to you. Stakeholder engagement on projects is specific and different to the way that you worked with other teams in an operational or line management role, so it is worth reviewing ‘the basics’ so you have a solid understanding of how to make them work.
