Keep stakeholders informed of any milestones that you announce for your project or provide progress updates or feedback and feedback that you seek. This will help to reduce confusion, increase engagement, and aid in rapid resolution of issues. The first step is to identify your key stakeholders and establish their individual requirements and expectations. This can be done via surveys and stakeholder meetings. You can also participate in conferences, watching conversations on social media and many more. This information will allow you to determine how often to contact every group, what information they need and the format they prefer to receive it in.
Meetings are a great method to share project information with stakeholders and provide them a platform to discuss concerns or questions and to brainstorm ideas. It is important to schedule regular meetings, for example bi-weekly or monthly and ensure that all stakeholders are invited. A portal or website for the project is a great way to share documents with the stakeholders and keep them updated.
It can be difficult to get all your stakeholders on the same page individually if you have many. In these instances the use of a presentation is an ideal way to keep them updated. Videos can be recorded and shared online so that they can be accessed by all parties. This is also helpful for remote teams. You can make targeted posts for specific groups and then send the information required using a project management tool that lets you tag stakeholders according to policies (such as Quorum).
