Business Task 3
Task 3: Evaluate and Address External Business Environment Changes for Impact on Scope
Evaluating and addressing external business environment changes is crucial to ensure that the project's scope remains aligned with the evolving conditions. This task involves surveying changes in the external business environment, assessing and prioritizing their impact on the project scope or backlog, recommending options for scope or backlog changes, and continually reviewing the external business environment for any further impacts. Here's an expanded explanation of each step:

Survey Changes to External Business Environment:
The first step is to survey and gather information about changes occurring in the external business environment. This includes monitoring and analyzing various factors such as regulatory changes, technological advancements, geopolitical shifts, market trends, competitive landscape, and customer demands.

The team may consider trade-offs, renegotiating contracts, reprioritizing tasks, or introducing new features or functionalities. The recommendations should aim to keep the project aligned with the current business environment and maximize its success.

Therefore, it is important to continually review the external business environment for any further impacts on the project scope or backlog. This involves staying updated with industry trends, market conditions, regulatory updates, emerging technologies, and other relevant factors.
