Roman Pichler: Dealing with Difficult Stakeholders

Dealing with Difficult Stakeholders
Working with stakeholders can be challenging for Scrum team members, especially Scrum product owners. The latter need the stakeholders’ support to progress the product but lack the power to tell the individuals what to do. To make things worse, stakeholders come from different departments and often have different perspectives, interests, and goals. This can lead to friction, disagreement, and conflict. My talk shares my tips for dealing with difficult stakeholders, constructively resolving conflict, and creating value together.
