except suitable actions will be taken in order to ensure the barriers mentioned in the previous
document addressed suitably. The strategic elements in the developed project plan include the
stakeholder management plan and the reporting strategy. The stakeholder management plan is
used to determine suitable roles and requirements expected of the stakeholders and the reporting
strategy is prepared to ensure the stakeholders can report to suitable authority in case they face
any challenge or barrier during the project.
