How important are the stakeholders?
The most important stakeholder, of course, is your client or customer. However, that may be more than one person the sponsor and the user, for example. But there can also be many other stakeholders as in the case of environmentally sensitive or publicly exposed projects. Such situations require special management attention. Even in a simple project, such as introducing an administrative change, there will likely be people who are indirectly affected and who should be considered. Remember also that a customer can be internal or external.
