### Overview A lack of stakeholder involvement adds risk to a project by not identifying problems early making costs to correct the problem significantly larger as a result. The involvement of all stakeholders in any aspect of the project should be monitored regularly and any lack of appropriate involvement should be flagged and escalated to senior management if required. # Entry Criteria Stakeholder List A report of the team list from Visual Studio Team System. # Sub-Activities
