Spot where stakeholders' expectations don't match the plan

Find where stakeholder expectations don't match my project, before it causes trouble. What the project will actually deliver: [SCOPE, dates, quality level, budget, what is out of scope] What each stakeholder expects: [PASTE their emails, meeting notes, requests, or describe what each has said] Documents they've seen: [charter, proposal, slides - and what those promised] Check each stakeholder against the plan on: - Scope: features or outputs they expect that aren't planned, or that are planned differently. - Timing: dates they're quoting vs our dates, and phase vs full delivery. - Quality and level of detail: "pilot" vs "production ready". - Their role: what they think they'll be asked to do, approve, or provide. - Benefits: results they expect and when. - Expectations that conflict between stakeholders. Return: 1. Gap table: Stakeholder | What they expect | What we will deliver | Size of gap (small / medium / large) | Source of the misunderstanding. 2. Conflicts between stakeholders' expectations that only a sponsor decision can settle. 3. For each large gap: whether to change the plan or reset the expectation, and a suggested message to reset it, honest and specific. 4. Habits to keep expectations aligned: what to confirm in writing, and when. Quote stakeholders' own words where possible. If I haven't given evidence of someone's expectation, mark it [ASSUMED] and suggest checking with them directly.
