This is an observation that comes from my experience of working on projects and interviewing project managers. Often people say they want feedback from stakeholders. Preferably in a formative sense so that feedback can be reviewed and enacted upon within the project if necessary. Often people choose to use a project wiki and publicise this in order to invite comments. I wonder how effective this is. Will/do people really comment and give feedback in such a public space?
Others often quote final reports and journal articles as effective means of dissemination but also as channels for feedback. Such summative methods are unlikely to provide useful feedback that can be incorporated unless the project has a second phase perhaps either through a new grant or other means.
