Reflection

  • Are you crystal clear on why you are doing your project? And do you agree what to achieve - and what defines success?

  • Do you have the same understanding of your roles & responsibilities within the project team? And with the steering group?

  • Are you making stakeholder management and engagement a key priority in your role as project manager? If not, what is taking your focus? And what will you do to change that?
