Identify Stakeholders

Identifying stakeholders means figuring out who will be affected by or has an interest in a project. These can be individuals, groups, or organizations that can influence the project’s success or are impacted by it. Understanding stakeholders helps project managers communicate effectively, gather input, and address concerns. By knowing who the stakeholders are, the project team can ensure that everyone’s needs and expectations are considered, which ultimately contributes to a smoother project process and better outcomes.
