1.4. What are the common mistakes you should be careful

about when communicating with the client in order to
gather and report data? Answer in 50-100 words.

Answer 1.1: The act of developing a list of requirements to explain what a project is and its
aim is known as requirement gathering. Clients, employee users, consumers, and vendors
can all provide us with valuable information. The collecting of requirements often serves as
the project's blueprints. Business and technical requirements are the two basic categories of
requirements gathering.
Answer 1.2: For meeting the client requirements and analyzing the data and
stakeholder purposes we can make sure by interviewing it has proven to be one of the
most successful methods for acquiring requirements. The business analyst uses this
strategy to converse with users and clients who are unable to provide thorough
information since they are unaware of the system's development and related
functionalities. There exist some ways that can be followed to be sure that we have
gathered compliant and correct information like by identifying relevant stakeholders
and by establishing project goals and objectives which produce requirements for
stakeholders. Many ways like documenting, confirming, and prioritizing the
requirements also can be done.
Answer 1.3: The ten rules for successful business requirements gathering are:
- Writing it down
- Aligning with the business process

- Getting it signed
- Not over designing the process
- Keeping the pedal to the metal
- Thinking about the context

Answer 1.4: While communicating with the client in order to collect and gather
data we must be careful about making the mistakes. Most common mistakes
we must be careful like not using negative tone, just reacting but not
responding and not keeping an open mind. Speaking more and listening less
must be prevented. By not preparing ourselves for what we are going to
speak about wants and needs.

2.2. Answer with an example that why maintaining an

understanding of the client business requirements is a must

distribute massive amounts of information. Managers and staff can use the
information provided by corporate data to make quick and accurate choices,
allowing them to efficiently manage operations and respond promptly to company
opportunities and risks. ICT enables the business to be more efficient, effective, and
responsive to the needs of its consumers. Design, manufacturing, research and
development, distribution, and sales can all benefit from ICT.
Answer 2.2: The example for understanding and maintain the client business
requirements for ICT product selection is for every successful business,
whether it sells directly to customers or to other firms, revolves around
knowing and understanding customer needs. We can utilize this knowledge
to persuade future and existing consumers that buying from us is in their
best interests once we have it. There is no such thing as a stand-alone
business.

Q4 Answer the following questions regarding the role of Satisfactory

: stakeholders and the degree of stakeholder involvement response
Yes No ☐
4.1. What are the internal and external stakeholders’ roles
in the business environment? Explain each using 100-150 ☐
words.

4.2. Explain why degree of stakeholder involvement varies

in a business environment. Answer in 100-150 words.

Answer 4.1: Internal stakeholders are individuals with a direct connection to the
company. This could be accomplished through employment or ownership.
Employees, owners, shareholders, and managers are all internal stakeholders. They
could be anyone in the organization. Employees are invested in the company's
success to ensure that they are compensated and keep their jobs. Employees may
have a health and safety focus depending on the nature of the business. Shareholders
are focused on a high performance to maximize their investment returns. Managers
are concerned with project management and the operation of individual pieces or
departments of the company. Voting rights based on the number of shares owned or
the percentage of the firm owned are one of the most important responsibilities that
internal stakeholders play.
External stakeholders are individuals who are involved with the company in a non-
direct way. This could be due to a business deal, a desire to learn more about the
items, or concern about the influence on the community. Suppliers, governments,
customers, trade unions, and creditors are examples of external stakeholders. These
are people and organizations who are not affiliated with the company. External
Stakeholders have a vital role in the company's investment and disinvestment. They
are unlikely to be able to influence the company's direction. They are not involved
with any of the company's internal operations or decision-making. The people who
buy the product or use the service are known as customers. Customers can have an
impact on a company by increasing the number of products or services they
purchase, which will result in larger earnings.

Answer 4.2: Stakeholder involvement is critical to any business survival. A

strong vision produced from a thorough strategic planning process is required
for a business to prosper, and an effective strategic plan or marketing plan can
only be achieved through stakeholder involvement. Stakeholder needs are
translated into organizational goals through successful engagement, which
serves as the foundation for effective strategy creation. Finding a point of
agreement or shared motivation aids a group of stakeholders in reaching a
decision and ensures an investment in a worthwhile outcome. Stakeholders can
vary based on the type of company or organization. Employees, consumers,
suppliers, shareholders, regulatory or government agencies, boards of
directors, and business owners are examples of these people.
