During the execution of an IT infrastructure upgrade project, you have identified a mix of internal and external stakeholders with varying degrees of power and interest. Which of the following steps would be MOST effective for your next action to ensure a robust stakeholder engagement strategy?
Schedule a one-time meeting with all stakeholders to obtain their buy-in and then focus solely on the project execution.
Develop and implement a tailored engagement plan for each category of stakeholders and periodically validate its effectiveness through feedback and stakeholder responses.
Send out weekly project updates via a newsletter to all stakeholders to keep them informed of project progress and decisions.
Review the stakeholder engagement plan to ensure it aligns with the latest project schedule and communication frequency.
