What no one tells you about stakeholder alignment

Lack of stakeholder alignment and commitment are the 1 and 2 reasons why programs delay, break down before reaching the desired achievements, or fail altogether.

Your internal stakeholders can assist with your success when you build partnerships with them and include them as part of your extended team. When I look back on the products I was building, I always had a smoother experience getting my product built or orchestrating a pivot when I kept my stakeholders in the loop from the beginning.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Are you getting your stakeholders involved from the beginning of your project and keeping them socialized about what you are doing? Or do you throw requests 'over the wall,' asking for their commitment and alignment?
• Do they fully appreciate why you are asking for their alignment and commitment? 
• Do they understand the value you are creating for customers and their business? 
• Why should they commit to you and your program?
