A stakeholder is any person who has an interest in an existing or new information system. Stakeholders can be technical or nontechnical workers.
For information systems, the stakeholders can be classified as:

  • System Owners are people who pay and own the system
  • Users are people who directly/indirectly use the new system
  • System Analysts are people who must understand business processes and document them carefully.
  • Project Manager is responsible for knowing the “who, what, where, when, and why” of the software project. This means knowing the stakeholders of the project and being able to effectively communicate with each of them.
  • Developers are responsible for using the technical requirements for building the deliverables and communicating the status of the software project to the Technical Lead or Project Manager.
  • System Testers ensure that the software solution meets the business requirements and that it is free of bugs, errors and defects.
  • System Administrators are people who ‘take care’ of the system after it is done
