If anyone knows the ins and outs of how projects succeed or fail in an organization, it’ll be your stakeholders. Stakeholder interviews give your team a clear understanding of goals, challenges, feature requests, and even personalities within the organization or team you’ve partnered with. Asking project stakeholders a few simple questions will help you get ahead of issues and uncover important information that could impact your plan. For example, your stakeholder interview might provide answers about how you communicate about the project, how and when you present your work, and maybe even team politics, issues, or risks you’ll want to avoid.
