Stakeholders - UX Words to Know

What are stakeholders in UX research?

Stakeholders are key people who have an interest or an investment in your projects.

Often, stakeholders in UX are the people who are funding your project, like your CEO or a client, so they often have a say in how a product is designed or developed.

Or sometimes, your stakeholders can be people who don’t work directly with you, but will still have an interest in your project's success, like your customers, suppliers, or even some of your colleagues!

Overall, working with stakeholders can help prioritize features, keep you within your project’s budget, and get you important feedback so your finished product will meet your user’s needs and ultimately succeed.
