Why each option
To address stakeholder Ann's concerns about lack of updates and input, the project manager should establish regular, face-to-face communication channels.
Involving Ann only during the testing phase does not address the ongoing lack of periodic updates and her feeling of not being involved throughout the project lifecycle.
Organizing a solution walkthrough and ensuring face-to-face updates every two weeks directly addresses Ann's complaint about not receiving periodic updates and her input not being taken into account. This approach fosters better communication and allows for timely feedback and engagement.
Escalating Ann's concerns to the steering committee as criticism is an adversarial approach that fails to resolve her underlying issues related to communication and input.
Organizing a requirements workshop is typically done at the early stages of a project to define scope, not to resolve ongoing communication and feedback issues in later phases.
