There is no more Project Stakeholder Management Plan but Project Stakeholder Engagement Plan...
But there still is Project Stakeholder Management, I would have called the area name: Project Stakeholder Engagement Management or simple Project Stakeholder Engagement Saving Changes...

Interesting bit of trivia - when the Sixth Edition draft was out for review, I was one of the reviewers and when it came to this knowledge area I suggested they rename the overall knowledge area to Project Stakeholder Engagement to be consistent given their move to shift the process names from Management to Engagement.
They rejected that suggestion :-)

Stakeholder Engagement is the process that ensures implementing the developed engagement strategies. Thus Project Stakeholder Management more than only engagement.
