In the context of the project organization, which of the following are classed as External...

AgilePM distinguishes clearly between internal delivery roles (the project team and its immediate governance) and the wider set of external stakeholders who affect, constrain, or benefit from the solution. Developers are part of the internal Solution Development Team—hence not external stakeholders. By contrast, Regulatory Authorities are external parties that impose compliance obligations and quality constraints; they influence acceptance and release but are outside the project team structure. Customers (and users) are also external stakeholders: they receive value, validate usability, and provide feedback, yet they are not members of the delivery team itself. Employees who sit outside the formal project team (e.g., business staff impacted by change, operational personnel, support and sales teams) are treated as external stakeholders because they are affected by the solution and provide input, but they don’t hold delivery roles. AgilePM’s organization model embeds active business involvement through defined roles inside the team, while also recognizing a broader environment of external interests that must be engaged and managed. Therefore, the items that best fit the “external stakeholder” classification are 1 (Regulatory Authorities), 3 (Customers), and 4 (Employees); 2 (Developers) belong to the internal delivery team.
