Let's explore stakeholder analysis. Why is it critical to understand who our stakeholders are?
To ensure we know who will influence or be affected by the project?
Exactly! Stakeholder analysis helps us identify key individuals and groups. Can anyone name a tool we use for this?
The Stakeholder Matrix?

Identify stakeholders, understand their influence and interest, and document them!
Great job! Identifying stakeholders is the first step in ensuring project success.
Now, let’s discuss defining project scope. What does it mean to define a project’s scope?
It means to outline what the project will deliver and what it won't.
Exactly! This prevents scope creep. Any thoughts on how we might define scope effectively?
We could use techniques like MoSCoW prioritization.
Correct! MoSCoW prioritization helps in categorizing requirements. Can anybody summarize why scope definition is crucial?
It helps set clear expectations and keeps projects on track.
Well said! Clear expectations lead to successful project outcomes.
Let's discuss feasibility and impact analysis. Why is it essential to assess feasibility at this stage?
We need to know if the project is viable, right?
Correct! Conducting feasibility studies means evaluating economic, technical, and legal viability. Can someone give an example of a feasibility concern?
Maybe the budget—can we afford the project?
