TASK3 - PLAN INFORMATION GATHERING ACTIVITIES
I have chosen to run a workshop/focus group to obtain the project requirements, constraints and risks of doing this project. I have done this because obtaining information in a group will be quicker than obtaining it individually through interviews or surveys.

• What sort of things have already been tried to resolve this situation?
• From your perspective, what makes this problem unique?
• When this project is complete, what would you deem as a successful outcome?
• What are some of your thoughts on the current stage of the
