Question

A project manager is about to start a large-scale project with unclear requirements, a fixed deadline, and a fixed budget. The client is unable to provide a product owner, as they do not have enough capacity and they want to be involved only a few times during the project.

How should the project manager plan and manage the project?

William Takashi Chan · Accepted Answer

Agree up front on a minimum viable product (MVP), establish deadlines for review, and run the project with a backlog and weekly sprints.

William Takashi Chan · Answer

Convince the client that a product owner is needed, as the project manager is not able to run an agile project without all the relevant roles in place.

William Takashi Chan · Answer

Define the project's requirements, prepare a long-term detailed plan, and manage the project according to it.

William Takashi Chan · Answer

Refuse to manage the project as there is too much risk in developing this kind of project without a product owner.
