Stakeholders:
As we seek to identify our stakeholders, we need to look at other individuals that will provide input into the project as we progress. These people may or may not become project team members, but are likely to provide significant contributions.
After a quick phone call to Dr. Arnold (Technology), Dr. Gordon (Engineering), and Dr. Maxwell (Math), you have the names of staff members that will be able to help with the coordination of moving the staff members in each department.
For Technology, our contact will be Dr. Joel Smith. There are 7 staff members, including the department chair, 38 full-time faculty, and 15 adjunct or part-time faculty.
For Engineering, Juanita Sandoval will be the point of contact. There are 5 staff members, including the department chair, 22 full-time faculty, and 10 adjunct or part-time faculty.
Finally, for Math, Dr. Chin Lee will be our point of contact. There are 5 staff members, including the department chair, 18 full-time faculty, and 12 adjunct or part-time faculty.
Can you think of any other stakeholders that we did not think of?
Communication Requirements:
Dr. Patterson has requested monthly meeting updates on the status of the project until 60 days before the move. Then, meetings should occur weekly. All meetings with Dr. Patterson need to be face-to-face.
It has been suggested that the overall project team, including representatives from each department will meet every other week until 60 days before the move. Then, the project team will meet weekly. These meetings will be set-up to accommodate both face-to-face and Skype for Business. Many stakeholders have agreed to attend meetings if a virtual option was available.
Meetings with The IT and Facilities project teams will be managed and occur on their schedule.
In addition to meetings, regular project status updates will be delivered each week via email to all key stakeholders. These updates will follow a standard template format.
