Which of the following is true about stakeholders?

  2. They may gain or lose as a result of the project delivery
  3. They may actively support or block the project
  4. They have a financial interest in the project
  1. 1, 2, 3
  2. 1, 3, 4
  3. 2, 3, 4
  4. 1, 2, 3, 4
Explanation

Answer: A - A stakeholder need not have a financial interest in the project (although it is certainly possible).

Key takeaway: A stakeholder is not just somebody with an interest in the positive outcomes of the project. It is equally important to identify those stakeholders who are concerned about negative effects, who may oppose the project in some way, or who may be concerned about their own position in the company following the implementation of the project products.
