Project HEADWAY: Negotiating Requirements: How To Get Stakeholder Agreement

 

This presentation is supporting material for this video.

Few things are as difficult in starting up a project as ensuring a proper understanding of the requirements. Get these right, and your project is assured a much greater likelihood of success. Get these wrong, and unfulfilled expectations, unmanaged stakeholders and unrealistic assumptions can threaten to crater your project before it ever even gets started.

While there is a great deal of discussion about the need to negotiate requirements and manage stakeholder expectations, there is much less discussion on how to actually pull this off. Assuming you are starting a project, and needing to figure out what needs to actually happen, where do you start? What do you do? What do you need to watch out for? And above all, how will you know you have been successful?

In this presentation, Mark Mullaly explores the process of negotiating requirements in detail. He starts with an understanding of what requirements are supposed to do, and how they fit into the overall process of project planning. This presentation provides practical guidance that any project manager can apply to successfully laying the groundwork for a successful project plan. After all, isn't that the least you require?
