As companies ramp up after the pandemic, there is a greater emphasis to deliver projects faster. As a result, this pivot is increasing the pressure on project teams to deliver digital projects with vague requirements. In an uncertain business environment, the project team needs to be agile and work with what they have.
TBD
The pointers below will help the project team to clarify requirements and get projects kicked off with minimal delays.
TBD
- Ensure the project has a stakeholder
- This should be someone from the business who understands the use cases for the proposed product feature or enhancement
TBD
- Handling Requirements
- Review high level requirements with the project team and record their assumptions and questions
- Discuss updated requirements, assumptions, and open questions with the stakeholder. Get stakeholder approval for the updated requirements, assumptions, budget, timelines, and success criteria
TBD
- Update Project Scope and Timelines
- Agree on an iterative development cycle with continuous input from the stakeholder. Especially before and after an iteration.
TBD
- Prioritize & Build
- Agree on feature prioritization with the Stakeholder
- After the project kicks off, schedule demos with the stakeholder after each iteration.
TBD
- Engage the Stakeholder
- For risk reviews and sprint planning
- Engaging stakeholders can be challenging as most have limited availability.
- Agree on a meeting schedule cadence up front and a backup resource for the stakeholder to ensure timely response for critical decisions.
TBD
