Discussion

Stakeholder support is very important to information technology projects. Stakeholders can be external and internal. External stakeholders could be members of the society who benefit from the technology. Internal stakeholders could be the executive management team responsible for funding the project.

If your project were to be implemented and deployed in a real-world environment, identify the key stakeholders whose support you would need. In your initial post, identify these stakeholders and describe the strategies you would take to get stakeholder buy-in. Also, describe how you could approach stakeholders that might resist the project.

Then, compare and contrast your ideas with your classmates.
