Are you a victim of your own success?! Have you managed your project so well that people keep coming to you instead of following the BAU process?
Welcome to The Everyday Project Manager's Q&A series.
Nicola Spooner of The Search Project asks Jeremy: How Can I Transition Stakeholders to BAU?
In this video The Everyday Project Manager covers:
- Understanding why stakeholders are still coming to you
- Are there some steps you've missed in the project lifecycle to prepare them for your departure?
- Is there some work you can do in the short term to fix this issue?
- Have you been clear enough about the BAU process from the beginning?
- Does the BAU process meet the needs of those who are going to use it?
Putting some work in early on in the project and using good communication throughout will help to stop this problem before it starts. But we've also got some great tips if your project has come to an end and you're still the Go To!
