Why RPM? π€
We know that stakeholder updates can be overwhelming, but the RPM Framework simplifies it all in three easy steps:
- Reflect
- Present, and
- Map.
Say goodbye to lengthy, confusing reports! π
Step 1: Reflect π
Look back at your accomplishments! π Highlight completed tasks, key learnings, and challenges you've overcome. Stakeholders will love seeing their investments pay off! πͺ
In this section, you'll dive into the details of your project's past. Summarize completed tasks, achieved milestones, and key learnings that have shaped the project thus far.
Remember to mention your challenges and how your team overcame them.
By showcasing the progress made, stakeholders will gain confidence in your project management and be eager to see what's next. Remember, everyone loves a success story! π
Step 2: Present π―
Could you show your stakeholders where you stand now? π Discuss ongoing tasks, challenges, and how you're adapting. Keep them engaged and informed! π€
Bring your stakeholders up to speed with the current state of your project. Discuss the ongoing tasks, current challenges, and any changes to the original project plan.
Transparency is key here - be open about resource allocation and budget usage. Also, could you update them on stakeholder engagement and any new feedback received?
By presenting the project's present status, stakeholders will feel involved and valued, strengthening their commitment to its success. π
Step 3: Map πΊοΈ
Excite them with a glimpse of the future! β¨ Outline upcoming milestones, risks, and opportunities for stakeholder involvement. Keep them on the edge of their seats! π
Outline the upcoming tasks, deadlines, and milestones to propel your project forward. Identify any potential risks or challenges and describe the strategies to mitigate them.
Could you highlight critical decisions or approvals required from stakeholders and emphasize any anticipated changes in the project's scope, budget, or timeline?
Most importantly, it showcases opportunities for stakeholders to provide feedback or get involved.
By mapping out the project's future, you'll create a sense of anticipation and ensure your stakeholders remain engaged throughout the journey. π
