At our last meeting, the definitions and roles for Sponsor, Stakeholder,
Champion, etc. was raised as a common issue for all Project Leaders. To
help start the discussion, below are characteristices for these roles.
These come froma draft by Brian McDonald that I've combined with some
Discovery definitions.
I think some of the key questions we will want to discuss on Friday are:
How are these roles important to you as Project Leaders?
What do you need from each of these roles?
How do you communicate and manage the relationship with each of these player=
s?
