As a project leader, your primary task is to manage people. "Satisfy stakeholders!" is the project manager's mantra. For successful projects, it's not enough to deliver on the customer's demand; projects have to meet all stakeholder expectations.

Identifying Stakeholders – a Primary and an Ongoing Task

The five primary project stakeholders are the project manager, the project team, the functional management, the sponsor, and the customer.  In a larger sense, anyone who participates in the project or is impacted by its results is a stakeholder.

Contribution made by different people to the project is the principal criteria for identifying stakeholders.

Preplanning can reduce the work of communication. For instance, you can distribute lists for standard materials such as project updates, or set up a project "war room" with a bulletin board... More
