Onef wayf af projectf wouldf bef af riskf isf thef stakeholdersf notf agreeingf onf thef requirements.f
Anotherf wayf thef projectf wouldf bef putf atf riskf isf iff theref isf notf af definitionf off done.f If wouldf usef
twof waysf tof gatherf requirementsf forf thef project.f Thef Firstf wouldf bef tof interviewf thef owners,f
thef employees,f andf thef customers.f Af goodf interviewf canf getf youf somef goodf insightsf intof whatf
isf neededf tof makef thef projectf successful.f If wouldf putf moref stockf inf thef feedbackf If gotf fromf thef
floorf employeesf asf theyf aref thef onef thatf willf usef thef systemf dayf tof dayf andf knowf howf thef
workflowf isf andf whatf worksf bestf forf themf andf thef customers.f Thef nextf requirementf gatheringf
techniquef If wouldf usef isf thef observation.f Watchingf thef Workflowf andf dayf tof dayf operationsf
willf helpf youf understandf whatf thef stakef holdersf needf andf whatf wouldf bef af nicef additionf butf
notf necessary.f Thenf goingf backf tof thef ownersf andf presentingf yourf findingsf mayf helpf themf
comef tof anf agreementf forf whatf thef softwaref shouldf do.f f Partf off thef issuef withf thef firstf riskf isf
wef allf needf tof bef onf thef samef pagef inf orderf tof knowf wheref thef endf goalf isf andf howf wef evenf
achievef it.f If wouldf wantf tof sitf themf downf firstf overf af couplef off meetingsf tof makef suref thatf wef
ironf outf whatf wouldf bef thef resultf off thef software.f Obviously,f it'sf tof makef moneyf butf howf willf
thatf bef achieved?f Thef secondf issuef wouldf bef makingf suref thatf oncef wef ironf outf thatf planf ideaf
off whatf thef partnersf want,f gettingf theirf designersf involvedf tof helpf considerf whatf willf needf tof
bef partf off thef over-userf experiencef tof makef thisf workf wellf forf thef customersf theyf wouldf bef
targeting.f Iff theref isf somethingf wef needf tof hiref outsidef help,f whatf exactlyf wouldf wef needf helpf
with?f Byf doingf thisf If hopef tof getf bothf partnersf onf thef samef page,f getf thef informationf If wouldf
needf andf thenf workf withf everyonef tof getf thisf projectf donef inf af reasonablef time!f .Whenf If thinkf
off af riskyf project,f If thinkf moref alongf thef linesf off anf unrealisticf timelinef andf scopef orf thef
projectf lacksf af skilledf team.f If wouldf notf thinkf thef projectf wouldf bef broughtf tof thef tablef forf
discussionf iff thef requirementsf weref stillf inf thef airf orf iff theref wasf notf adequatef funding.f Iff thef
stakeholdersf can’tf decidef onf whatf isf needed,f howf aref thef peoplef doingf thef workf supposedf tof
deliver?f Theyf needf directionf andf tof getf paid.If thinkf documentf gatheringf isf thef samef forf af riskyf
projectf andf af not-riskyf project.f If thinkf youf wouldf havef tof layf outf thef risksf andf probablyf givef
ideasf onf wheref thef riskf canf bef mitigated.f Maybef afterf gettingf allf thef ideasf together,f youf canf
nudgef themf inf thef rightf directionf byf sayingf a,f bf andf cf aref doablef withf yourf budgetf andf ideas,f
butf d,f e,f andf ff aref notf becausef off budgetf orf becausef theyf cannotf clarifyf exactlyf whatf theyf aref
needing.f Thisf isf af situationf wheref If thinkf someonef needsf tof thinkf outsidef thef boxf andf probablyf
readf betweenf thef linesf tof translatef whatf isf needed.f Whenf stakeholdersf dof notf agreef onf thef
projectf requirementsf andf thef needsf thatf theyf aref tryingf tof meetf withf thef softwaref applicationsf
theyf aref developingf forf thef stakeholders,f itf isf af greatf indicationf thatf thef projectf isf atf riskf tof fail.f
Asf af softwaref engineer,f itf isf criticallyf importantf thatf youf alignf thef stakeholders'f viewf off thef
projectf requirementsf andf needsf off thef project.f Iff projectf stakeholdersf disagreef onf thef problemsf
beingf solvedf orf whatf thef futuref statef solutionf willf lookf like,f thef projectf willf notf succeed.f Itf isf
extremelyf importantf forf stakeholdersf tof bef onf thef samef pagef andf tof havef af sharedf visionf off thef
goals,f expectations,f needs,f andf requirementsf off af project.f Iff not,f thef projectf willf bef atf risk,f andf
stakeholderf expectationsf willf notf bef met.f Whenf thisf happens,f stakeholdersf andf thef projectf
teamf becomef veryf frustrated,f andf thef projectf doesf notf progressf efficientlyf andf effectivelyf andf
isf atf riskf tof fail.f Itf isf importantf thatf thef projectf managerf andf projectf sponsorsf makef suref thatf
expectations,f needs,f andf requirementsf aref alignedf intof onef sharedf visionf sof thatf thef projectf hasf
af betterf chancef tof succeed.f Brainstormingf isf af greatf wayf tof realignf thef partnersf tof developf
creativef approachesf andf ultimatelyf decreasingf thef amountf off riskf tof thef project.f If thinkf peoplef
underestimatef thef valuef off trustf andf communicationf andf oftenf letf thef chipsf fallf insteadf off
puttingf egosf andf differencesf asidef tof achievef ourf commonf goals.f Anotherf pointf tof considerf isf
tof teachf themf appropriatef skillsf tof helpf themf resolvef thef issues.f Itf isf sof importantf tof teachf
stakeholdersf andf projectf teamf membersf appropriatef skillsf tof completef theirf work.f Thisf week,f
If hadf tof workf closelyf withf onef off myf managersf andf hisf projectf team.f Hef hasf af skillsf issuef withf
somef off hisf teamf membersf thatf If helpedf himf tof address.f Unfortunately,f whenf teamf membersf
don'tf havef thef skills,f theyf needf tof succeedf atf theirf jobs,f theyf putf theirf projectsf andf workf atf risk.f
Inf addition,f If alsof workedf withf thisf managerf onf hisf skills.f Asf thef managerf off thisf team,f hef
shouldf havef identifiedf thef issuesf andf rectifiedf themf withoutf mef havingf tof bef involved.f If spentf
timef providingf himf withf additionalf trainingf sof thatf hef couldf addressf thesef issues,f asf thef teamf
manager,f iff theyf arisef againf inf thef future.f Organizationsf havef alwaysf beenf partf off historyf inf

Corporationsf havef donef withf affiliatesf acrossf nations,f companies,f orf withinf theirf meaningf
franchisesf forf af rangef off purposes,f whetherf fromf af needf tof growf orf af needf tof cutf offf prices.f
Yet,f inf currentf yearsf thef developmentf off alliancesf hasf enhanced,f drivenf byf thef advantagesf off
probabilityf sharingf andf supplyf pooling,f expertisef merging,f manufacturingf deconstruction,f andf
knowledgef dispersion.f Goodf developmentf executivesf willf bef capablef tof steerf throughf theirf
plansf andf providef theirf deliverablesf onf scheduledf time.f Industriesf oftenf havef additionalf thanf
onef designf goingf atf somef givenf momentf inf time.f If canf agreef withf youf 100%f thatf thef partnersf
shouldf communicatef andf collaborate.f Partf off collaboratingf andf communicatingf isf howf newf
projectsf canf bef developed.f Iff there'sf nof communication,f thenf thef newf projectf wouldn'tf bef
processedf whichf canf causef af hugef reputationf forf thef company.f Collaborationf improvesf thef
