Abstract :
Projects often fail because they overlook stakeholders. Unfortunately, existing stakeholder analysis tools only capture stakeholders\´ information, relying on experts to manually identify them. StakeSource is a web-based tool that automates stakeholder analysis. It "crowdsources" the stakeholders themselves for recommendations about other stakeholders and aggregates their answers using social network analysis.
