Solicit Commitment

• Ask each team member to commit to the project plan and the promise of the whole team to deliver the agreed upon product vision. They are making an individual commitment as part of a team of peers. Each team member is jointly responsible for the success of the project and delivering on the product vision.
• It is not always possible to get commitments in a group setting. It may be necessary to schedule time with individuals or to solicit their commitment by e-mail.
• To expedite agreements on a commitment, make an appointment to go and visit the stakeholder and, across their desk, ask them sincerely for their signature.
