Assignment:

As you learned in the text, it is critical to involve key stakeholders on important projects and focus on their needs. In agile projects, however, increased stakeholder involvement and faster decision making are often required. To enable timely, productive discussion and decision making, agile teams communicate directly with stakeholders instead of wading through tiers of management to establish such communications.

The Third Avenue health-care app project involved the following stakeholders:

• You, the product owner. You are one of two senior programmers at Third Avenue.
• Eric, a junior programmer who is considered by his peers to be the author of some of the best code at the company. You have also designated Eric to be the project ScrumMaster.
• Lia, another talented young programmer
• Brianna, a marketing representative who has experience in health care from a previous job
• Jack, the regulatory manager at Third Avenue
• Kendra, the Quality Assurance manager
• Aziz, a Quality Assurance tester who began his career as a programmer
• Barry, a member of Third Avenue's three-person accounting staff
• Members of Third Avenue management, who occasionally expressed doubts about the team's ability to complete the work by the deadline and within budget

Make a stakeholder management plan to handle the stakeholders' concerns and input for the health-care app after it has been released to the field. For example, continuing strategies are needed to monetize the software most effectively and to achieve maximum market penetration.
