Stakeholder refers to a certain group of some individuals who contribute to the success of the goals to be achieved by the organization. For the goals to be attained successfully in a project, Stakeholders should be deployed (Roeder, 2013). Stakeholders ensure that all objectives are met. When managing the project to add lanes to the highways, Stakeholders are the motorists. People who live close to the highways are the ones to be impacted negatively more so by the noise as a result of construction. In a certain firm, the manager has been given the responsibility to allocate resources and also to take part in decision making concerning the project(Roeder, 2013). The project, in this case, is termed as a stakeholder. In this case, the suppliers, the government, the customers and the contractors are the stakeholders

Policymaking process involves a large group of people to make policies that are accepted by a large group of people. Some of the groups that are being included in policy making are the stakeholder (Helbig, Dawes, Dzhusupova, Klievink, & Mkude, 2015). Stakeholders are essential in the policymaking process in the following ways; stakeholders help the policymakers in setting agenda, analyzing all the things to be included in the policymaking process, in policy-making, implementation of the policies and in evaluation and review of all the essential factors to be included in a policy.
There are necessary steps and measures which should be followed for implementing the process:
For identifying the stakeholders, understanding the goals and to engage with them for making robust plans and to influence the stakeholders to achieve the results
Analyze more about the stakeholders for effectively engaging with them for understanding the limitation of the time and resources, then prioritizing the interaction with them and allocating the funds by taking time to understand the available support for any engagement process, skills and approaches
Plan which is meant to engage and communicate with that of the stakeholders that involve setting out the messages and approaches one would take for tacking the assignment
Simple act and ways to engage the stakeholders for harnessing the insights and influencing the attitude towards powerful ideas that can help in assessing and handling the resistance
The review is a very critical process for the stakeholder’s campaign wherein it continually monitors the outcome of the communication with that of the stakeholder and also reassesses the plans.
Stakeholders can be anyone from the top management, the project manager, peers, resource management, internal customers, and external customers. Stakeholders add power as they shape the perception and opinion; they reinforce the supportive knowledge as well as the opinion, and also they shift the critical perception and ideas.

Task chiefs rely upon individuals to react to the yields and advantages that they convey. Individuals will possibly react on the off chance that they are locked in. The expression “stakeholder management” suggests that these individuals can be made to react decidedly to a venture, however actually an undertaking administrator every now and again has no proper intensity of power and in this way needs to depend on a commitment to accomplishing his/her targets.
