Question 3 (25 points)

John is leading a project to implement an online benefits management portal to enable employees to have a one stop location to view their health and dental benefits, get answers to benefits-related questions, and enable for changes to be made to health benefits coverage. The requirements were gathered over a three-week time period at the start of the project. The project is near completion the portal has been developed by the IT/Application Development group. It has been tested and will be rolled out early next week. John was approached by a member of the senior leadership team who suggests that it would be of value to add in a component so that employees can also manage their 401Ks.

John has had such an experience with this senior leadership team stakeholder in the past. Specifically, he has asked for additional scope for projects at the last minute and has been insistent about getting his requirements included, regardless of the cost. In nearly every situation, the project has not been successful and John has had to answer to the fact that the project was not successful.

Q. How could John manage this stakeholder and how can he avoid this situation in the future?
