Typical stakeholders are the Director and supervisors of the department(s) implementing the new change or process. The IT team making up the project team, including the project manager, informatics, business analyst, technical support specialist, training members, desktop support, . The sponsor, CEO or other member of higher up, end users, and customers. Each stakeholder affects a business analyst in the aspect that during the project the business analyst has to keep each stakeholder in mind and make sure that the workflows are all correct and every possible solution has been worked through so that after implementation the solution is working as expected and is beneficial, not causing more problems or workarounds. ]]> 2017-11-16 16:03:38 UTC https://padlet.com/joanngiesekent/j7tk2vxuwij6/wish/207740967 https://padlet.com/joanngiesekent/j7tk2vxuwij6/wish/207927423 Stakeholders have a tremendous amount of impact on the project as they are identifiers, the decision makers, and also the evaluators. We as business analysts  need to guide them along objectively and coordinate the collaboration by providing them with all of the information they need to make the best decision. We then help them draft a plan to activate the decision.]]> 2017-11-16 22:16:27 UTC https://padlet.com/joanngiesekent/j7tk2vxuwij6/wish/207927423 https://padlet.com/joanngiesekent/j7tk2vxuwij6/wish/208197914

You have to collaborate with stakeholders to understand the needs, change of current state and future state as well as elicit information from them.  You also have to work closely with the stakeholders to maintain understanding, agreement and approval of requirements and designs.   If you don't have a strong reputable working relationship with your stakeholders you are not going to be successful or your going to end up doing a lot of work yourself without the stakeholders help.
