According to the PMBOK Guide, the project manager should analyze the stakeholder's expectations and identify the topics of interest that may affect the project's success. This will help the project manager to tailor the communication and engagement strategies to the stakeholder's needs and preferences. The project manager should also use meeting management techniques to plan and conduct effective meetings with the stakeholder, and use active listening and feedback skills to ensure mutual understanding and alignment1.
