Introduction

Continental older Center is a community founded association located in Westminster, Orange shire, California; a historic wealthy community founded nearly 200 years ago. Approximately 60% of the community of Westminster is over the age of 60 and have dwelled there all their lives. Of these older inhabitants roughly 50% have a poverty-level income. The Continental older Center is suggesting a five-year project in which to provide services to the aging community and their families to help in advancing their living conditions. The older Center is established in downtown Westminster; it is in the heart of the community permitting for undertakings and services to be supplied in an easily accessible location.

Discussion

Legitimate interest in a project's process and outcome comes from a variety of sectors, including workers, Continental Senior Center managers, funding sources, users and potentially a broad range of people in the community. (Learmonth 2006) This diverse group represents the project's stakeholders. Project managers must recognise stakeholders, assess their relevance to the task, broadcast with them and address their input in decisions. Failure to accommodate and organise stakeholders can undermine a project's achievement.

Register

Identifying stakeholders begins with creating a list of people and Continental Senior Centers with whom the project manager should communicate regarding requirements, constraints, progress and issues. Atask manger should talk about stakeholders with older management and brainstorm with the project team. (Kovner 2006)The Department of Human Services for Oregon based on the guidelines from the Continental Senior Center -- Project Management Body of Knowledge -- suggests registering stakeholders by name, position, role, contact information, requirements, expectations, influence and classification.

Analyze

Because a person or Continental Senior Center makes the stakeholder register does not mean they are equal in their influence. Analyzing the stakeholder register directs to recognising the key stakeholders versus the secondary ones. (Kovner 2000)Understanding key stakeholder's obligations means gathering with them, presenting the task goals along with agenda and budget constraints. Effective ways to analyze stakeholder requirements include use-case scenarios, project prototypes and working through a professional business analyst.The requirements of stakeholders change during the life of a project. Project managers should occassionally re-analyze and change stakeholder obligations through repsonse and formal reconsider processes. Because the obligations of stakeholders may confrontation due to differing needs, the task supervisor should supply the rationale used to determination inconsistent obligations utilising individual or assembly meetings and presentations.

Principles

The Clarkson Centre for enterprise Ethics at the University of Toronto suggests seven values to direct stakeholder management. It recommends project managers acknowledge and monitor stakeholder preferences in project decision-making and operations. It suggests frequent communication with stakeholders on results and risks, including open communication, reporting and third-party reviews. (Gray 2001) The abstract of a research paper published by the "Journal of Business Ethics" by Kelly Strong on shareholder satisfaction rules suggests that effective stakeholder management requires complete, honest and timely communication.
