Did you know that the word stakeholder is mentioned 1202 times in the Project Management Body of Knowledge Guide, the PMBoK Sixth Edition and 1208 times in the Business Analysis Body of Knowledge Guide, the BABoK v3? It is mentioned this many times because building and maintaining a good relationship with stakeholders is an essential part of any Project Manager, Scrum Master, Product Owner, or Business Analyst’s job.

This course focuses on something we always need to improve our skills for interacting with our stakeholders and subject matter experts.
