Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

I have found this interesing article "Using Stakeholder Analysis in Software Project Management" by Bas de Baar.

Do you apply such a technique when planning your project?

don’t forget that there are also five (5) Ex (X)!:

Excavate - the facts

Explain - the purpose

Extemporise - the objective

Exterminate - the unnecessary

Exclaim! - the results

Franck,
From what I read there is nothing earth shattering in the document other than what should be done as ageneral process at the start up stage of a project and revisited at least at the end of each stage.

It is always important to ask your stakeholders if they have input, and as a personal method when one of themtells me something or requests somthing I do the old ’5 Whys’. in other words ask them why they want it to be that way, and ask them 5 times and by the time you get your 5th answer you have the real reason.
