What is Stakeholder Management?
Stakeholder management in FDE work is less about keeping people happy and more about making sure the right people know what is happening before it becomes a problem. This means identifying who the skeptics are early, giving them the evidence they need to trust the system (usually evals), managing expectations before a demo rather than after it goes wrong, and escalating blockers fast rather than letting them quietly slow the engagement. The technical work can be excellent, and the engagement can still fail if the people who need to approve, adopt, or fund the system never get bought in.
