Deliver Successful Projects

Delivering Successful Projects

For business improvement projects, the ability to effectively engage with stakeholders to define clear priorities, align deliverables, and drive adoption are extremely important. In fact, it is the 20% that contributes to 80% of project success.

For project managers, this means having a clear understanding of who stakeholders are, the goals they are trying to achieve, and key challenges preventing them from executing. This allows you to focus efforts and resources on solving the right problems.

But those who have managed large projects know, stakeholder management is easier said than done.

The Problem: two sides of the same coin.

Many project teams do not have a clear understanding of what stakeholders are trying to achieve and key blockers preventing them from executing. On the other hand, stakeholders do not communicate this information clearly.  In addition, different stakeholders communicate in different ways, and there is not a central place to document and manage this information.

Without clear understanding, project teams struggle to prioritize numerous, and at times conflicting requirements. Which leaves stakeholders and project teams with the challenge of:

  • Effectively communicating and capturing clear strategic priorities and pains.
  • Effectively validating and ensuring project alignment.
  • Efficiently communicating this information with extended team members to keep focus on priorities, drive change and user acceptance.
  • Continuously updating and validating, because priorities, requirements, and stakeholders change.
