Alignment with your stakeholders, understanding their point of view on the project plays a crucial role. This is what is actually expected while doing the stakeholders interviews and preparing engagement plans to take their buy in for the project. Thank you for the video. Loved it

Adriana your content is amazing, I am a career change person in my late 40s and looked and read everything I can get my hands on. You're clear, concise, and include everything that you can come across, including the management side, so thank you for taking your time to help people like myself. It's the best content on YouTube full stop, better than a course I was on and gave up as it didn't give me the information I wanted

Liked your advise on active listening, perhaps the most underestimated skill of a PM.
