1. What is the project development background
That's why it was developed.
For example, if you want to develop a chat software, you should first talk about the current way of chatting, what problems exist, and then talk about the shortcomings of the existing chat software. How necessary it is to develop, and how much impact it will have on the chat event after it is developed. It's almost a comparison with which software has been developed, and of course, take their own advantages to their disadvantages.

3. How to make your project background clear?
There are a lot of project contents. It is clear that the high-quality contents should be communicated simply and concisely, rather than the entire contents of the project being introduced.
Simple and concise communication needs to be clear about who to communicate with and what to say. In fact, two steps can make the project clear
1. Who to communicate with and understand the project stakeholders;
2. Say what?
Introduce the project charter, project initiation report, progress, milestones, risks, etc.;
on the basis of understanding the stakeholders, you can clarify where the project needs their support, participation, responsibility, suggestions, and finalization.
Project stakeholders can be classified by RACI,
Information: If you have something to say, please send a copy to the email; if the project is completed or not, people who will not be affected;
Responsible: For specific work, the project requires them to work together; Participate in and support other projects;
Consulting: those who come up with ideas; senior people, influential people, there is no harm in asking a lot.
Accountable: Those who make up their minds on the table, manage money, manage people's leaders or customers, etc.;
If the project is initiated by these leaders, then luck is good;
if the project is not initiated by these leaders, but the resources are all under the responsibility of the leaders, then the project manager will have more challenges;
after having the project stakeholder RACI table in hand, from the project approval Find relevant information and content in reports, charters, schedules, milestones, and risk tables.
