I feel like keeping them informed is crucial too. If they know what’s happening, they might feel more involved in the process.

I’m not entirely sure, but I think managing them closely could be important since they have a high interest in the outcome, even if they lack power.

I remember we discussed stakeholder management in class, and I think keeping them satisfied makes sense since they’ll be the ones wearing the uniforms.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this one. I know it has something to do with earned value, planned value, and actual cost, but I can't quite remember the exact formula. I'll have to think this through carefully.
