Projects Often Cause Change
• Projects often cause changes in organizations, and some people may lose their
jobs when a project is completed. Project managers might be viewed as
enemies if the project resulted in job losses for some stakeholders
• By contrast, they could be viewed as allies if they lead a project that helps
increase profits, produce new jobs, or increase pay for certain stakeholders
• In any case, project managers must learn to identify, understand, and work
with a variety of stakeholders
