Stakeholder – anyone internal or external to the project, who has an interest in the project, or could be impacted by it.

The PM:

• Identifies all stakeholders impacted by the project early in the project,
• Analyzes their interest, expectations, importance and influence – critical to project success to do so
• Documents and classifies stakeholder by their interests, attitude, influence, involvement, and impact in the Stakeholder Register.
• Works closely with the Communications Management Plan
