mapping should be considered as initial step of stakeholder analysis. Once necessary information
has been obtained but need to identifying significant role of primary as well as secondary
stakeholders.
By influencing the stakeholder which have a power in setting and modifying project
requirements. In another way, it can be said that stakeholder affects by project result or outcome.

Although I have performed the task with group of members. They will give own
contribution to target more customer in global world. During group activities, I have been
demonstrated their interest in coordinating with other groups.
Analysis
I have identified the current situation through incident that happened during project
management. Me and my team spending so much time with discussion. I used to chat and always
identifying the result or outcome. Furthermore, I always remember the even assigned task and
examine on regular basis.
