A project stakeholder is any person or group that supports, is affected by, or is interested in your project. Your project’s stakeholders can be inside or outside your organization, and knowing who they are helps you

 Plan whether, when, and how to involve them.

 Determine whether the scope of the project is bigger or smaller than you originally anticipated.

You may hear other terms used in the business world to describe project stakeholders, but these terms address only some of the people from your complete project stakeholder register. Here are some examples:

 A distribution list identifies people who receive project communications. These lists are often out-of-date for a couple of reasons. Some people remain on the list simply because no one removes them; other people are on the list because no one wants to run the risk of insulting them by removing them. In either case, having their names on this list doesn’t ensure that these people actually support, are affected by, or are interested in your project.

 Team members are people whom the project manager directs. All team members are stakeholders, but the stakeholder register includes more than just team members.
