      2. Stakeholder Management plan

        2. Project charter

          2. Stakeholder register
            1. The stakeholder register is a list of all of the people you need to talk to work out the requirements for the project.
            2. Interviews
              1. Are important ways to get your stakeholders to explain how they’ll use the product or service your project is creating. By talking to people one-on-one, you can get them to explain exactly what they need so that you can be sure that your project can meet its goals.
              2. Focus groups
                1. Are another way to get a group of people to discuss their needs with you. By letting a group discuss the end product together, you can get them to tell you requirements that they might not have thought of by themselves.
                2. Facilitated workshops
                  1. Are more structured group conversations where a moderator leads the group through brainstorming requirements together. In facilitated workshops, misunderstandings and issues can get reconciled all at once because all of the stakeholders are working together to define the requirements.
                  2. Group decision-making techniques
                    1. A big project usually has a lot of stakeholders, and that means a lot of opinions. You’ll need to find a way of making decisions when those opinions conflict with each other. There are four major decision-making techniques you can choose from.
                      1. Unanimity
                        1. Means everyone agrees on the decision.
                        2. Majority
                          1. Means that more than half the people in the group agree on the decision.
                          2. Plurality
                            1. Means that the idea that gets the most votes wins.
                            2. Dictatorship
                              1. Is when one person makes the decision for the whole group.
                            3. Questionnaire & Interview
                              1. Plurality, Unanimity
                              2. Observation
                                1. Sometimes observing the people who will use your product while they work with it will give you a better idea of how to solve their problems. People don’t always know what to say when you ask them for requirements, so watching them deal with the problem your product is going to address can help you to find requirements that they might not tell you about on their own.
                                2. Prototype
                                  1. Sometimes the best way to get your stakeholders to give you an opinion on what your product should be is to show it to them in a prototype.
                                  2. Introduction
                                    1. Organizational Impact
                                      1. Functional requirements
                                        1. Nonfunctional requirements
                                          1. Idea/mind maps
                                            1. Are a good way to visualize the way your ideas relate to each other. When you’ve finished working through an idea, it sometimes helps to create a map of how you got there and show which ideas can be grouped together.
                                            2. Context diagrams
                                              1. Help your team show the way all of the processes and features in your product scope relate to each other. It’s a picture of the scope of your product that shows how users will interact with it.
                                              2. Affinity diagrams
                                                1. Are great when you have a lot of ideas and you need to group them so you can do something with them. A lot of people make affinity diagrams using Postit notes on walls. That way, you can move the ideas around and change the groupings when you think of new areas to explore. Sometimes just putting requirements in categories will help you to find new ones.
                                                2. The nominal group technique
                                                  1. Is a form of brainstorming where you write down the ideas as you find them and have the group vote on which ones they like the best. You then use the votes to rank all of the ideas and separate the ones that aren’t important from the ones you want to delve into deeper.
                                                  2. Brainstorming
                                                    1. is one of the most commonly used ways of collecting requirements. Whenever you sit a group of people down to think of new ideas, you’re brainstorming.
                                                    2. Benchmarking
                                                      1. is a way of comparing the processes and practices used in building your software with the practices and processes in other organizations so you can figure out the best ideas for improvement.
                                                      2. Document analysis
                                                        1. is a way of collecting requirements by reading through all of the existing documents for your product.
                                                        2. Planning group
