    One important question that I would ask is: who should I involve in the project? Which departments within the company should be involved? This is especially important in project management because this helps determine the scope of the project, addresses the issue of who would be a stakeholder. It’s difficult to determine the minimum number of people and which people within the company should be involved in the project. Another important question would be: how do I convince management or leadership to fund my project and approve my project over all of the others? In other words, what makes my project stand out compared to the others? There’s always going to be competition in gaining the attention of leadership and making a difference as resources and time are limited. This is a great question that should be asked because it addresses the significance of your project. It may be a way to decide if you’re project is worth pursuing and maybe you could get involved in another person’s project as you may have skills that are required. Another important question to ask if there are potential improvements that could be made later on regarding the new product and capability? Can I improve my product or capability later on or is it a dead end after it’s completed? This is important because companies constantly innovate and therefore their products and services always get improved. It’s important to assess the full potential of your concept as it may be help you gain the attention of leadership.
