Meeting The Project Mission
It’s why you’re here


Know the Project Stakeholders

A strong project mission can not be created in a vacuum. Who are the people with an interest in the outcome of the project? What are their common expectations? Stakeholders’ expectations are rarely spelled out in legislation, executive orders, or formal memoranda.

Amplify the Voices of Your Customers

Who will be paying for this project? Who will actually be using the systems and processes being designed? Clarify the business priorities of these customers and their criteria for success. Actively and emphatically communicate this information. Do this for customers inside the organization as well as those outside the organization.

Maintain High-Level Communication About the Project Mission
