has hired you to oversee the development and release of their
latest product. A preliminary project initiation meeting will
result in the identification of the project sponsor, selection of a
project manager, and creation of the project charter. A manager

the project?
Whom should the project sponsor be? Why?
What skills and experience are likely needed by the project
manager for each phase in the project life cycle, and how do
these skills and experiences differ between the various phases?
What kind of roles and responsibilities should the key
stakeholders have? Discuss at least 4–5 different kinds of
stakeholders.
How should they communicate to different stakeholders during
the project?
What information should be shared with the project
stakeholders?
What is the mechanism that could be used for each type of
information?
What is the frequency with which information should be shared?
What should be done if project communications are not proving
to be effective?
What technology could be used for project communications?
At what point could communication about the project become an
ethical or legal issue?
What are the best ways to manage project risks as well as
opportunities during project execution?
How do they update and analyze old risks as well as new risks
while undertaking the project?
What business opportunity might project completion create?
What is the potential financial impact of the project?
What are the expected results of the project?
What value will the project add?
