Project stakeholders are the people who will be involved with the project or who hold some kind of “stake” in the successful outcomes of the project.

 Project Sponsor This is the organizational executive or external customer who is funding the project costs. The project sponsor is often the person who conceived the project idea and is most interested in the project progress, deliverables, and outcomes. The sponsor will sign off on the project charter, clarify the scope, review progress, and influence others in support of the project.

 Project Manager That's you—the person who is assigned the overall responsibility for planning, executing, monitoring, controlling, and closing the project. You set up and execute the project plan, secure and manage the project team and other resources carrying out the project tasks, track and report on progress toward deliverables and milestones, monitor costs, and adjust the project for changing conditions, all while moving toward a successful completion by the established finish date.

 Managing Stakeholders These are leaders who have a management responsibility associated with the project. The project sponsor and project manager are two managing stakeholders, but there might be others. Examples might include department heads who are affected by the use of their team members on the project or who will review specific project deliverables.

 Team Members Team members are those who will be assigned to project task responsibilities. You might not have a complete list at this stage, but you can identify names and job functions or titles, or just job functions or skill sets that will be required by the project. This information can help with high-level project and cost estimating.

 Customers and End Users These are the people who stand to benefit from the results of the project. End users might (or might not) be directly consulted throughout the project. Either way, name them as a stakeholder category and consider developing customer profiles or user stories to keep their wants and needs in mind as you and the team work through the project.
