A project manager uses their networking skills to build agreement with a difficult stakeholder. What level of influence did the project manager apply?

Project-level influence refers to the project manager's ability to use interpersonal and networking skills to manage relationships and resolve issues within the boundaries of the project itself. Building agreement with a specific project stakeholder is a project-level activity, as it directly concerns project outcomes and team dynamics.

Organizational-level influence would involve the project manager affecting policies, priorities, or decisions that span across the broader organization beyond the project.

Industry-level influence would involve the project manager shaping practices, standards, or norms outside of their organization entirely.

Influential level is not a recognized PMI classification for levels of project manager influence.
