A project management lecturer once joked to a class I was in that 'a stakeholder is anyone holding a stake'. It didn't resonate with me much at the time, but now I'm always looking out for those people who are going to come into the picture and potentially cause some grief, or who needed to be included sooner.

In the consulting environment I currently work in there is limited time for stakeholder analysis, so what I tend to do at a minimum is to include a RACI matrix in the communications plans and, critically, at least capture people's annual leave dates. Rare is a project not impacted by someone going on leave.
