    Other aspects to consider during the planning phase include the meeting stakeholders’ expectations, incorporating inputs from customer surveys, and allotting time for any changes that may be made to the original design. The planning team should outline how they can meet the requirements of the stakeholders within their desired time frame. Projected revenue (benefits) that greatly outweigh the risk of financial failure will also lead to more stakeholder buy-in and engagement. The customer surveys will offer suggestions for improving certain aspects of existing products, which will help the new product stand out and increase sales. New customer feedback may contradict older reviews, and stakeholders may want to include more specifications after the documents(DDP,DID) from the planning process has already been completed. The team will need to account for the time spent making those adjustments to the initial design, by including that buffer when negotiating the project boundary.
