      And that is, why it is important to know the difference of stake- and shareholders. But it is a great mistake to learn from.

        If only decision makers would ever recognize the mistake in the first place.

        You don’t designate a user advocate or at least have a representative of Trust & Safety to advice on development?

            Oh, my comment was a joke too, darling. We know that no one on project management cares enough to actually have proper user advocates on the dev team.

              I’d prefer a well equipped UX research team tbh. “Advocate” is one of those job titles that screams “my role is poorly defined”

                UX and UI aren’t magic bullets. They constantly come up with and approve the most anti-user crap. They are just as disconnected from the actual user base as a database engineer.

      not necessarily. Your “stakeholders” on the deal/contract that interface with product and success managers could all be VPs who never use the product.

        No. A stakeholder is anyone with an interest in the project. Where you consider the importance of a particular stakeholder vs another is a different question.
