Core Team

The core team is the people who are part of the building effort for the productthe product designers, programmers, testers, systems analysts, systems architects, technical writers, database designers, and anyone else who is somehow involved in the construction. It is not necessary to have all these people at the blastoff meeting, as some of them will be involved for only part of the construction.

You can also consider the open source community as stakeholders because they have knowledge about new technological trends. You can contact these people via open source forums. They are usually very enthusiastic and ready to share their knowledge with you.

When you do know the people involved, record their names. Otherwise, use this section of the template to list the skills and duties that you think will most likely be needed to build the product.
