The finance team is a key stakeholder in the project, as they are responsible for approving the project budget and ROI. If they are not involved in building the business case for the project, they may not understand or agree with the project objectives, benefits, and assumptions. This can lead to conflicts, delays, and rework in the project execution. Therefore, the project manager should schedule a meeting with the product owner and the finance team to discuss the business case, clarify the requirements, expectations, and constraints, and agree on the course corrections needed to align the project with the organizational strategy and goals. This way, the project manager can ensure that the project delivers value to the organization and satisfies the stakeholder needs. References:
