Imagine you're assigned as a project manager to the storm sewer rehabilitation project. Take a look at the provided location and map. You can see that there's an existing storm sewer responsible for discharging runoff from the North to the South. However, as time goes by, this existing pipe starts deteriorating and accumulating sediments, therefore lowering the capacity of the pipe, causing a ponding issue. As a project manager, you know you need to start the project as soon as possible.

For assignment number two, write one or two pages (approximately 500 words) explaining how you would arrange and prepare the first stakeholder meetings to discuss what construction methods to use, whether there are any permit application issues, discuss budgeting, etc.

* Make sure to consider the map when determining who to invite.

Tell me, in your assignment, who the internal and external stakeholders might be for this project. Keep in mind that project stakeholders may be individuals or organizations, whose interests may be positively or negatively affected. By identifying stakeholders upfront, you can determine what their needs and expectations are, and try to manage and monitor those needs and expectations for the betterment of the project.

This assignment should include all of the following:

• Describe what the objectives of the initial stakeholder meeting are.
• Based on the map, identify all of the internal and external stakeholders that you would need to involve and invite.
• Outline what the impacts of this project might be for each stakeholder.
• Explain how you would arrange and prepare for the stakeholder meeting, what information you'd need to have available, and what you'd need to discuss.
• Provide a short summary analysis of lessons learned to conclude the assignment.
