Project Team Roles and Stakeholders

The people, or organizations, who are actively interested in and involved with a project and who may affect or be affected by the results of the project are considered the project’s stakeholders. A stakeholder may use their position of power to steer the project, its deliverables, and the project team members in a certain direction. The project team itself needs to identify the stakeholders and understand their expectations of the project in order to manage their influence as well as expectations so that they can ensure a successful outcome of the project.4
