5. Σχολιασμός
The terms interested parties in ICB 3.0 and social environments in
pm baseline 3.0 are equivalent
As by these standards definition Interested Parties van only be people
or groups of people.
“Virtual Interested Parties e.g. the environment (in general),or the
climate change, or “non-human”, such as endangered species have to
be championed by a group and this group is then considered as an
Interested Party.
If there is no relevant group the project manager and the other members
of the project organization have to play that additional role.
Interested Parties (Environments) affect or are affected by the execution
of a project and/or by its output (deliverables).
Please note that a person (or group) has to be considered as Interested
Party, if its perception for the project is: “I think that I am affected”.
8. Σχολιασμός

(Environments) is different to the permanent and the temporary
organization (project).

“internal” to the permanent organization, but “external” to the
project.

The three symbols Positive / Neutral / Negative depict the initial result of
the analysis for the Environments perception and mood towards the
project.
Their distance from the project depicts (in a qualitative mode) their
Power / Interest (Urgency) taxonomy.
The dotted lines depict the communication and/or mutual influence
between the External Interested Parties.
The Internal Environments have (or should have), by default, a positive
mood towards the project.
For all these environments appropriate plans for communication and
management have to be developed. In order that their initial
perception/mood is enhanced, or at least not deteriorated.
