Activity Information

Plan Iteration Stakeholder Involvement

Description

Based on the list of required stakeholders, the proposed iteration backlog, and any project estimates or schedule, plan the involvement of each stakeholder. Are they needed at the beginning, the end, throughout, or only on specific days or following specific events of the iteration? What is their level of involvement? Is it full time, part-time, only for a few meetings? Are they responsible or accountable for work or merely consulted or informed? Answer these questions and document the required involvement for each stakeholder.

Is RequiredYes

Steps

  1. Determine when the Stakeholder is Needed:

    Identify when each stakeholder is needed in the iteration: at the beginning; throughout; only at the end; or based on some specific days in the calendar, or following some specific event.
  2. Determine the Degree of Involvement:

    Estimate the degree of involvement.

    Is the stakeholder being held accountable for one or more work items?

    Are they responsible for doing the work?

    Does this require full-time or merely part-time effort?

    Are they only consulted or informed?

    Will they be required to be on-call or available for meetings?

    Are they expected to read documents and provide feedback? If so how much, how often, and in what depth?

    Are they critical to the flow of work? Does failure to meet their commitments as a stakeholder put the iteration deliverable at risk? If so, then this should be added as a risk for management.
  3. Publish Stakeholder Involvement Plan:

    Publish the required level of involvement for all the stakeholders to the project portal.
