What approach did Susan take to ensure all stakeholders were clear on their specific requirements?

Creating a single requirements package with a table of contents directing stakeholders to their areas of interest is an effective approach because it allows for a comprehensive view of the requirements while enabling stakeholders to easily navigate to the sections that are most relevant to them. This method provides clarity by organizing the information in a structured way, ensuring that stakeholders can quickly find and focus on their specific needs without being overwhelmed by unnecessary details.

This approach balances the need for inclusivity and transparency in the requirements process, ensuring that all stakeholders are informed while respecting their individual interests and priorities. It fosters a clear understanding of the project’s objectives and requirements, thereby reducing misunderstandings.

While presenting the entire package to all stakeholders at once can lead to confusion and information overload, as not all stakeholders may share the same interests. Likewise, creating different versions of the package for each group could introduce inconsistencies and complicate the communication process. Creating sub-packages specific to each stakeholder might also complicate the workflow and lead to fragmented communication, as it could be challenging to track how all the pieces connect. Hence, the chosen approach of a clear, single requirements package with navigable references stands out as the most effective method for clarity and communication among stakeholders.
