Hello guys, can anyone anser this question please? Thank a lot

 

Traditional project management (TPM) depends heavily on being able to clearly define what the client needs. You cannot create a detailed project plan without that information. Within the framework of the TPM, what could you do if it were not possible to get a clear definition of client needs?

    1. Make assumptions re requirements.

    2. Document them.

    3. Distribute them to sponsor/customer with a "fused" date when scope will be frozen and changing it will require ECP/ECO.

    4. Continue planning WBS/schedule/resources/budget/fee based on assumptions.

    5. Change WBS/schedule/resources/budget/fee per feedback from sponsor/customer.

    6. Freeze scope.

    7. Complete plan.

     

    Projects involving contracts will also require negotiating/finalizing the contract.
