You are the project manager for a software development project intended to automate several business processes for a client. After the initial meeting, you realized that the client has a highly complex and customized requirement including various integrations with legacy systems. What should be your next step to effectively plan the project?
Set up a series of team meetings to brainstorm potential solutions and technologies to be used.
Proceed to determine the project scope directly with your core project team.
Identify and analyze key project stakeholders to gather further detailed requirements and expectations.
Request approval from higher management to allocate additional resources to handle the complexity.
Identifying and analyzing stakeholders is crucial because it helps in understanding the demands, expectations, and influences of those who can affect or are affected by the project. This action provides vital insights needed to tailor communication, risk management plans, and increase project buy-in and support. Although understanding project scope is necessary, directly focusing on it without preliminary stakeholder analysis may result in missing crucial inputs. Similarly, setting up team meetings or seeking approval from higher management at this juncture might be pre-emptive without a clear understanding of needs and stakes.
