this is a great video! I have a few questions. 1) you mentioned interviews and surveys with stakeholder but before the workshop of identifying them. is this then an iterative process where I would need to go back to interviews with stakeholders that I was not aware of prior to the workshop? 2) who should be the workshop participants, where do I draw the line so to speak - do I invite anyone from the organisation I think can contribute or just the core team? 3) can a stakeholder be also internal or is it just external to the organisation that is doing the delivery- thanks so much for some guidance!

Hello there 👋 thank you for your feedback and your questions. I greatly appreciate you watching my video. In’s answer to your questions: 1) yes it’s an iterative process - start with the main stakeholders that you know about and work outwards from there. 2) it’s a balance between the core team and the right stakeholders, working with numbers that you think you can manage. You might want to have a core team session first, then invite others to a later session. 3) yes a stakeholder can be internal - it’s anyone who has interest in, is affected by or has influence over the thing you’re working on.

How often would you review and update the plan during a project?

[@Drjonorth]

Thank you for your great question. I’d make sure it’s updated on an ongoing basis in near real-time as anything changes in the plan. In addition, I’d review it at least quarterly, although this could be more or less frequently depending on how fast your industry or organisation moves. I hope that’s helpful.
