By limiting participation in the project, you could inherently be adding risk to your project. It is often the people who are the most scared and resistant who hold the key to the project’s success. It does take more time at the beginning of a project to collect data and expose your idea to enough people to ensure that it is honed into the best executable concept. You need to “go slow to go fast” in order to ensure that the quality of the group’s thinking is the best it can be. I agree with the author’s point about how to winnow participation down in order to get buy-in and to gain speed. The real art of managing stakeholders from a PM perspective is to apply that technique to the right decision and right content at the right time. Remember, idea conceptualization and closing a project’s issue is very different. One is more undefined and has a larger scope and one is usually targeted and more transactional. It is important to bring more people in at the beginning of the idea conceptualization. As you know, closing an issue can utilize a specific group of SME’s to provide a solution.

But I was expecting another example to indicate in monetary terms which way to go. For instance, the PM needs to prove to top management that it will make economic sense to lease rather than purchase an equipment, he needs to make use of figures so as to convince the management. What do you think? Thanks.
