A project manager has been appointed to a multimillion-dollar project. The project is considered to be high risk since no similar projects have been undertaken before and there is no historical data. Some external stakeholders are reluctant to provide support.
What approach should the project manager take?
In a high-risk project with no historical data and reluctant stakeholders, it is essential to establish dialogue with stakeholders on the project constraints, assumptions, and critical inputs. This approach helps to clarify expectations, gather necessary information, and build support from stakeholders by addressing their concerns and incorporating their insights into the project plan.
From the question, it seems that the project is in the initiating phase and the project manager needs to develop the project charter as well as assumption log to capture assumptions & constraints.
because PM do NOT have any reference data so first thing PM need collect info from stakeholder such as project constrain, assumption, critical input for this project
B. Establish dialogue with stakeholders on the project constraints, assumptions, and critical inputs
