Talk:Stakeholder

Bringing up the core precepts of the Agile Manifesto and Lean Thinking may be of benefit when discussing the central importance of the Customer and other Stakeholders.

The core precepts of the Agile Manifesto are Communication, Customer Satisfaction, Interdependence, Simplicity, and of course Value. We can see that Customer Satisfaction, Communication and Value are important when discussing Stakeholders.

For further discussion on Value, consider that Lean Thinking advocates:


 * 1) Reduce waste — where waste is anything that doesn’t add value for customers.
 * 2) Create value for customers — do nothing that doesn’t truly add value.
 * 3) Make the company more flexible so it can respond quickly to new customer needs.
