#2 Implementing agile

Like any other project management methodology, proactive stakeholder management is key to the success of all agile projects. After identifying all the stakeholders, they can be categorized into the following groups;

• High power - High interest
• High power - Low interest
• Low power - High interest
• Low power - Low interest

Once this stakeholder identification is done, then it is easy to identify the key risks. Dont think that agile project management is risk free. The political, technical, structural, process and cultural risks have to be managed proactively to implement agile project management. Everything starts with stakeholder identification, categorization and management.
