To manage stakeholders, you must first identify who they are and what their issues are. Demonstrate your understanding of stakeholders by completing this exercise.
Using the Web and other venues of your choice, find an article or news item that describes how stakeholders affected the success or failure of a project.

1. Write a journal entry about the results of the previous steps. In the paper, describe:
3. Pertinent background about the project.
