Who are project stakeholders in an AV installation project?

In an AV installation project, stakeholders are those individuals or groups who have a vested interest in the project's success and its outcome. This typically includes clients, end-users, project managers, and any other parties who will be affected by the project's execution and the final results. Those stakeholders influence decisions, provide requirements, and have a strong motivation to ensure the project meets its goals and serves its intended purpose.

While suppliers of equipment and technicians executing the installation have important roles, they may not have the same level of investment in the overall outcome of the project. The design team, while crucial for planning and conceptualizing the system, does not encompass all relevant stakeholders since the broader group also includes users and financiers who care about how the AV systems will perform and support business objectives. Therefore, recognizing the involvement of those most invested in the project helps ensure a more holistic and successful approach to the installation.
