1.3. Stakeholder

Content

Explicit overview of stakeholders of the system, i.e. all person, roles or organizations that

• should know the architecture
• have to be convinced of the architecture
• have to work with the architecture or with code
• need the documentation of the architecture for their work
• have to come up with decisions about the system or its development

Motivation

You should know all parties involved in development of the system or affected by the system. Otherwise, you may get nasty surprises later in the development process. These stakeholders determine the extent and the level of detail of your work and its results.
