Answer Key

Stakeholders

Section A: Quick Questions

A — Any person or group who uses, is affected by, or has an interest in the solution

A — Yes, they are users, so they are stakeholders

B — A parent who pays the fees for sports gear but never opens the app

A — The person or group who asks for the solution and says what it needs to do

B — Yes, developers have an interest in how the solution is built and how well it works

Section B: Match the Pairs

stakeholder → Any person or group who uses, is affected by, or has an interest in a digital solution

client → The stakeholder who asks for the solution and approves that it meets their needs

A developer is a stakeholder because they build and maintain the solution → stakeholders = ["client", "developer", "users"]

Parents of students who use a school app are indirectly affected stakeholders → indirect = ["parents", "neighbours"]

stakeholders = ["users"] # only users count → Not all stakeholders are users. The client, developers and people affected indirectly are stakeholders too.

if not user: not_stakeholder = True → Someone who does not use the solution can still be a stakeholder if they are affected by it or have an interest in it.

Section C: Definitions

stakeholder — Any person or group who uses, is affected by, or has an interest in a digital solution, such as users, the client, developers and people affected indirectly.

Section D: Fill in the Blanks

A stakeholder has an interest in a solution

Users are stakeholders who use the solution

The client asks for the solution.
The developer builds it.

An indirect stakeholder is affected but
does not use the solution

Users, the client and developers are all
stakeholders

Section E: Spot the Error

B — The client is the person who asks for and approves the app, here the canteen manager. The students who order lunch are the users.

C — Students who use the app are direct users. People affected indirectly are others, such as parents at home who benefit without using the app.

B — The developer builds the system. The client is the one who asks for it and pays for it, so the line should be 'Developer: builds the system'.

A — A stakeholder is anyone who uses, is affected by, or has an interest in a solution. Users are only one kind, so 'only the users' is wrong.

D — Developers are the people who design and build the solution, here the student team. Library members are the users.
