Define the Group of Stakeholders

Martin was ready to include a larger cross-section of the trader community. Martin spoke with his team and paired off the new stakeholders with stakeholders from the POC phase. This way, Martin could spread the load of bringing new people up to speed on the nature of the pilot and what the technology could and could not do.

Jason examined the proposed list of participants put forward by senior management. The names on the list encompassed four continents and virtually every line of business the company had. Jason had no internal colleagues he could use to help him get the others up to speed. The best Jason could do was hire some consultants from the selected vendor to assist him. Since the budget was disappearing quickly, the number of days that he would like to have for the vendors was reduced by half. This meant that Jason would need to get some volunteer regional help to manage and support the local pilot community.

The Methodology

The stakeholders for the pilot will include the same ones from the POC, but will be expanded to include any new business units that are part of the pilot. The roles are the same as before, but the scope and the impact of the decisions made are larger. The decisions made here will impact how the biometric system will be rolled out for the enterprise.
