Assignment: Stakeholder Buy-In

ii. How do you calculate a stakeholder's expected value or objective?
iii. What happens when a stakeholder objective conflicts with an enterprise objective?
iv. What are some communication strategies for maintaining stakeholder support?
v. How do modelling languages and semantic/symbolic models help?
vi. What are your own personal opinions regarding the usefulness and capabilities of the various graphical languages and modelling techniques shown so far?
