Management

Consider any category of management. These groups show up on the stakeholder map as classes like functional beneficiary, political beneficiary,and financial beneficiary. Does the board of directors have any interest in the product? Is it a strategic product? Do any managers other than those directly involved have a stake?

Product managers and program managers are good sources of requirements. They might also be considered the client for the project. Project managers or leaders who are responsible for the day-to-day management of the project effort likewise have contributions to make.
