TL;DR: Any project with resource limitations has to establish the relative priorities of the requested features, use cases, or functional requirements, and prioritization helps the project manager resolve conflicts, plan for staged deliveries, and make the necessary trade-off decisions.
Abstract: Customers are never thrilled to find out they can’t get all the features they want in release 1.0 of a new software product (at least, not if they want the features to work). However, if the development team cannot deliver every requirement by the scheduled initial delivery date, the project stakeholders must agree on which subset to implement first.

TL;DR: In this paper, an analytical framework was developed based on stakeholder theory within general management, as well as on sustainability research to analyze how various approaches to stakeholder management and sustainable development principles are included in internationally-used project management standards.

The current project stakeholder practices represent mainly a management‐of‐stakeholders approach, i.e. making stakeholders comply to project needs, w...
