Forum - Reflecting on internal and external stakeholders

This discussion is based on your reading of the first part of Chapter 5 of the prescribed text.

As you have learned previously, stakeholders are typically classified as internal versus external.

  1. Share your thoughts on External / Internal stakeholders that are not covered in the reading, e.g. give an example project and a stakeholder not listed explaining why they are an important stakeholder that shouldn't be overlooked. OR
  2. Share your thoughts on the most important stakeholder in a project and give reasons why you think this.

Post your responses in the forum on internal and external stakeholders.
