BUS528 project managment assignment Ch3 ideas

Define a project is a process of putting the ideas and perspectives together along with clearly defined
purpose--what is the reason for doing this project? Who wants it done and why? Goals--What is it we want to achieve? When do we want to achieve it? Benefits and scope--who will benefit?
In the project foundation stage, we need to know who will be the project stakeholders? We need to find the right influence people to accomplish the project. Project stakeholders include people who are interested in this project,actively involve in this project. For instance, project manager,project team,functional management,project sponsor,customers and people who make contribution and affected by the project.
For example, the project "build a green home--solar power", the stakeholders can be the government and customers want to see data that show the project is meeting goals to save energy bills and protect environment in the future.
To make the project not turn into failure, we need to clear well defined the project in order to gain stakeholders support and meet stakeholders expectations.
