How to Build Engagement with Stakeholders

Stakeholder engagement is incredibly important to successful business analysis. Without engaged stakeholders who care about the project and understand the work you do as a business analyst, you will work harder to discover the right requirements.

You’ll face issues like stakeholders not showing up to your meetings, unanswered questions about requirements that delay your project, and finger-pointing when issues inevitably surface late in the project.

In this video, I answer a question from Natasha, who asks:
“I have secured 5 min of time with my key stakeholder (cornered them in the corridor), they never worked with a BA before, what are the 3 most important things/ideas I should convey to them in order to start building some meaningful engagement.”

You'll discover:
*Why stakeholder engagement is important.
*Step 1 - Sharing what you do
*Step 2 - Asking a question and LISTENING to the answer
*Step 3 - Share how you can help
*Step 4 - Get commitment for the next step
