This is a common issue in my industry where there is often regulatory change that we have to quickly react to. Regardless of how much buffer your reserve anticipating change, you seemingly never have enough resources. On resource constrainted projects where the target dates are not moveable, I work with the stakeholders to define the impacts & severity of each major requirement assuming it can't be delivered in time. Then I matrix out the impacts and severity in an xy scatter chart (cartesian system). I then work with stakeholders to prioritize any requirement that appears in the high impact/high severity quadrant of the chart. We typically find these to be reputational, legal, and monetary impacts which end up being prioritized.

It depends very much on the requirement type. For example: If there are requirements created due to a legal change in the industry and they need to be implemented until a specific moment, it is clear from my point of view that a major part of the existing resources (or sometimes all of them) will be assigned to those tasks. In cases like this, you will not be able to prioritize the requirements based on stakeholders' influence on the project or the impact but on other aspects. This way of working is not applicable for every project, it depends very much on the company and the country.

get all the stakeholders in a workshop and make them aware of the fact and get them to agree to a priority sequence for all the work items

When managing a software integration with limited resources, I start by talking to everyone involved to understand what's most important to them. I identify the key needs that are essential for the project's success and match our main goals. Then, I prioritize those that we can realistically handle with the time and resources we have. I keep everyone updated on our decisions and explain why some things might need to wait. This way, we focus on what's really important and make the best use of what we have.

As a product owner managing a software integration with tight resources, I prioritize stakeholder needs by aligning them with business goals, impact, and feasibility. I begin by engaging stakeholders to understand their core objectives, then categorize requirements into "must-have," "should-have," and "nice-to-have" using frameworks like MoSCoW. I focus on delivering high-value, high-impact features first, while maintaining open communication to manage expectations. I also ensure technical dependencies and constraints are considered, collaborating closely with the team to iterate quickly, mitigate risks, and deliver incremental value without compromising quality.

If I'm managing a software integration with limited resources, I start by talking to all the stakeholders to understand what's most important to them. I figure out which needs align best with our main goals and which will have the biggest impact. Then, I prioritize those that we can realistically handle with the time and resources we have. I keep everyone updated on our decisions and explain why some things might need to wait or be adjusted. Clear and open communication helps us focus on what matters most and make the best use of our resources.

Well, You are already half won if you know the exact requirements and how to fulfill them.. Rest with the resource part, we discuss with the available team streamline on the deadline and have a plan to have the request fulfilled within the specified timelines.. Every successful competed step please keep the stakeholder updated on the progress and issues. Anything pre planned would mostly work.. If all your efforts are done and still lagging on the completion. Please update the stakeholder on the same .. You are already on the right path since you have pro actively Updating the process to the stakeholder. Cheers!

1. I prioritize stakeholders based on impact and influence, ensuring transparent communication and aligned expectations. 2. Effective stakeholder management in tight situations requires clear communication, prioritized needs, and flexible adaptability. 3. I focus on key stakeholders, align their needs with project goals, and maintain open communication to manage expectations.

One thing I have found useful is the Stakeholder Map to thoroughly examine and record the stakeholders for any business problem. Then we need to figure our their prioritization using the Stakeholder influence impact matrix. Pay maximum attention to the stakeholders with high impact and influence. Bur what is most important here is transparent communication- even with stakehders having low impact and low influence - to keep everyone on the same page.

When managing a software integration with limited resources, I start by talking to all stakeholders to understand what they need most. I figure out which needs align best with our main goals and offer the most value. Then, I prioritize those that we can realistically handle with our available resources. I keep everyone updated on why some requests are prioritized over others and explain any delays. Clear and open communication helps us focus on what matters most and use our resources effectively.
