An organization is embarking on a new program aligned with its strategic objectives.

Interview the program managers and stakeholders of previous programs to learn from their experiences.

Review the organization’s strategic objectives, risk tolerance, and compliance processes, which may provide knowledge about past programs.

Consult the repository developed as part of the organization’s knowledge management initiative to capture best practices and lessons learned.

Hire independent industry specialists and subject matter experts (SMEs) to provide additional information about market trends and uncertainties in the external environment.
