Between the kickoff call and the "go-live" stage, a common occurrence unfolds: the sudden emergence of phantom stakeholders. These elusive figures require a rundown of the project scope despite their absence from prior communications.

In the realm of SaaS delivery, success hinges not only on task management but also on navigating these unforeseen apparitions effectively.

Effective onboarding initiatives establish a framework for stakeholder responsibility from the outset. Otherwise, you might find yourself constantly warding off these spectral participants.

My recommendation? Implement an Executive Dashboard linked to your project blueprint. This dashboard offers real-time updates for invested stakeholders to access at their convenience, yet it's simple to circulate via email every Friday for those needing gentle reminders. While it doesn't need to rival the complexity of AI-generated systems, it should encapsulate key elements: ongoing tasks, completed tasks, active risks, their mitigations, and any overdue items. By keeping executive stakeholders informed, these phantoms can seamlessly integrate into the project's fabric.
