====== Stakeholders Definition ======

In agile project management, it is essential to have a clear understanding of the stakeholders, team members, and respective roles. The PSL-Agile Excel Template offers dedicated sheets to define and manage these aspects.

Fill the sheet "Team" with the people directly involved in the project, i.e., the people you may be interested in assigning concrete tasks (e.g., later in the Kanban board or Sprint backlogs). In general, these individuals shall be previously defined in the sheet "StakeholdersPeople", and thus, you may copy them by clicking on the "Update From StakeholdersPeople" command (available from the PSL-Agile ribbon tab). You may also define multiple teams and even teams with sub-teams by using the "part of" relationship between these items.

For each team item (i.e., either a team member or a team), you can define the following properties:\\
ID: A unique identifier for the team item.\\
Name: Name of the team item.\\
Type: Type of the team item: either a Person or a Team.\\
Role: General project role of a team member, e.g., Sponsor, Project Manager, Team Leader, Team Member.\\

**Update From StakeholdersPeople (Premium)**: Command (available from "PSL-Agile | Team") that streamlines the process of populating the "Team" sheet with the people previously defined in the "StakeholdersPeople" sheet. This command allows you to copy the people defined in your project, ensuring consistency and efficiency in team management.

Effectively defining your project's stakeholders, team members, and their roles is fundamental to the success of your project. It enhances communication, collaboration, and overall understanding, fostering a more productive and efficient project environment.
