A TYPOLOGY OF STAKEHOLDER IDENTIFICATION METHODS FO R PROJECTS IN SOFTWARE INDUSTRY

摘要

There are many reasons behind the failures of a software project. Failure is strongly related to stakeholder's perceptions of project value and their relationship with the project team. A project is more likely to be successful if it begins well. A good beginning includes time at the outset to discuss relevant software project stakeholder's key needs and expectations. Despite the enormous growth of participatory software practice and theory, there is still little shared understanding amongst those involved. The stakeholder structure in software is complex and dynamic and it is imperative to identify all the relevant stakeholders involved. In this respect, Stakeholder Identification is a crucial step through which the different expectations and influences can be assessed. This paper intends to dwell upon the significance of stakeholder identification in software industry by doing a literature study.
