  1. Identify, classify and prioritize the different stakeholders of your project. Use a framework for classifying stakeholders from the Stakeholders Lecture (recall the classifications from lecture, Mitchell's taxonomy [power, legitimacy, urgency], O-i SD framework [principal, end-user, partner, insider], Alexander's Onion Classification, and Sutcliffe's Taxonomy).  Make sure to identify which stakeholders are in-scope and out-of-scope, as well as which ones could turn out to be negative stakeholders. Finally, decide which stakeholder is the most important to define the point-of-view that your system will take.  
  2. Identify potential risks for your project. Assess the risk using a strategy similar to the one described in the Patel reading.  Be sure to measure the likelihood of the risk and the magnitude of impact. Based on this information develop a brief Risk Management Strategy that accepts, mitigates, or avoids the risks identified.
