Projects are impacted by a myriad of environmental factors such as an organization, its culture, project lifecycle, and team member roles within the organization. Projects also need resources such as people, materials, information, money, or time. These resources need to be acquired and managed to deliver the project successfully. All projects have customers and stakeholders. Stakeholders can have a vested interested in projects that impact their program or portfolio. These stakeholders may use their power to influence project requirements to meet the needs of their the business that they represent. Stakeholder with high influence could make key decision that could impact the project scope. In such cases, the project team will need to manage and influence the expectations of stakeholders for the successful delivery of the project. The project manager also will need to actively balance the needs of the customer and stakeholders while managing the project scope. Communication is also a critical component throughout the project. It delivers status, decisions made, transparency, builds trust, and articulates project goals to team members, so they understand what is expected of them and when.
