How can you classify stakeholders?

Stakeholders can be classified based on their level of influence and interest in a project or organization. Common classifications include primary stakeholders, who are directly impacted (e.g., employees, customers), and secondary stakeholders, who have an indirect interest (e.g., suppliers, community members). Additionally, stakeholders can be categorized as internal (within the organization) or external (outside the organization). Understanding these classifications helps in prioritizing engagement strategies and addressing their needs effectively.
