There aren’t a ton of books available on coaching how to manage stakeholders while managing a project towards success. This independently published book attempts to fill that gap by providing a series of methods and tools to those new to the practice.
First the strengths: The book indeed delivers as advertised by including most common practices for managing stakeholders. It explains them well and provides examples of documentation. It reads like an internal training document that companies might use to help their employees.
However, weaknesses also exist. At 57 pages, the book is incredibly short. The narrative of the book is likewise thin. It could have included practical stories to illustrate the tools’ effectiveness or limitations. I sense that stakeholder management involves a soft skills, not just filling out objective forms. I sought to develop those skills through this book, but it almost entirely let me down in this respect. To pay for a book published for the general public, I expect more than just a series of templates. The book simply needs to be fleshed out more.
