Stakeholder Analysis

Key questions in stakeholder analysis Who are the stakeholders in a system, with regard to a certain project / programme? What are their interests, views, objectives? How important is it to involve them and to what level? How are they affected? How do they affect / influence the project / programme outcomes? What kind of relations? How should stakeholders participate or contribute?
