Tip Comm Channels

- A project with 15 stakeholders—the project manager is already included in the stakeholder count.The total number of stakeholders would be 15.

- A project manager has a team of 15—the project manager isn’t included in the stakeholder count,so needs to be included. The total number of stakeholders would be 16 (team of 15+PM = 16).
