Identify and involve the relevant stakeholders of the process as planned.
The purpose of this generic practice is to establish and maintain the expected involvement of stakeholders during the execution of the process.
Involve relevant stakeholders as described in an appropriate plan for stakeholder involvement. Involve stakeholders appropriately in activities such as the
following:
· Planning
· Decisions
· Commitments
· Communication
· Coordination
· Reviews
· Appraisals
· Requirements definitions
· Resolution of problems/issues
Refer to the Project Planning process area for more information about planning for stakeholder involvement.
To plan stakeholder involvement, ensure that sufficient stakeholder interaction necessary to accomplish the process occurs, while avoiding excessive numbers of stakeholders that could impede
process execution.
Examples of stakeholders that might serve as relevant stakeholders for acquisition tasks, depending on context, include the acquirer, customers, suppliers, end users, support personnel,
other projects, and government regulators.
