  Project Stakeholders
Project stakeholders are individuals and organizations that are actively involved in the project, or whose interests may be affected as a result of project execution or project completion.
Negative stakeholders are often overlooked by the project team at the risk of failing to bring their projects to a successful end.
In addition to these key stakeholders, there are many different names and categories of project stakeholders, including internal and external, owners and investors, sellers and contractors, team members and their families, government agencies and media outlets, individual citizens, temporary or permanent lobbying organizations, and society-at-large.

Project stakeholders perceive agile project managers differently: You're no longer the IT weenie with status reports and project plans; now you're the person who helps to build working software on a regular basis.

 Dr. Dobb's | Groundwork for Project Success | January 1, 2002
A great way to start a project is to have a one-on-one with the most senior person in the company who cares about the project, and will give you his or her time.
In order for a project of any size to get approval, someone with some staff or budget had to decide it was a good idea—and possibly they had to earn their boss's approval as well.

 Civic Art and the City of God: Traditional Urban Design and Christian Evangelism   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
To date, there are four primary types of New Urbanist projects, all of which have as their goal the creation of low-rise, high density, walkable, mixed-use settlements with a legible hierarchy of squares, streets, and civic buildings.
Then there are the various project stakeholders—most obviously the developer—but also persons from the local planning department, bankers, various civic and business leaders, and so forth.
If there is currently a major weakness in the New Urbanist approach to greenfield and brownfield projects, it is that such projects are driven too much by the housing industry; with the result that there is a clear “lag” between the communal aspirations of New Urbanists and the physical manifestations of community in such projects.
