Please have each team e-mail in the following assignment by Aug 3, 2009.
1) Make a stakeholder diagram: list all stakeholders in your project and rate their interest (on a scale of 1-3) and their influence on the project's success or failure.
2) What are the 5 greatest challenges to your success? Consider all angles: technical, social, economic, educational, political challenges.
3) Research to find similar projects others have done, and what they foretell about yours.
4) Write down 5 going-in hypotheses about your project.
5) Write down 10-25 questions you hope to answer in Guatemala that will test these hypotheses. What kind of people or places will you visit to answer them? How many interviews will you seek to get credible data? _________________ Ken Pickar
