Stakeholder salience is the extent to which the stakeholders are vocal, visible and important to a project. It is a key aspect of stakeholder management as it is common for highly vocal stakeholders to try to define requirements and make decisions beyond their expertise and authority resulting in issues. Stakeholder salience is typically modeled according to three factors:
PowerPower is the ability to influence in a particular area. For example, a programmer with a reputation for brilliance amongst her peers may be able to influence designs and decisions beyond her formal authority.LegitimacyLegitimacy is authority. Authority is typically formally defined by a firm's organizational structure and can be delegated. UrgencyThe degree to which a stakeholder pushes their ideas forward. This ranges from a stakeholder who completely dominates every conversation to a stakeholder who is disengaged or effectively absent. A project has a problem when its urgent stakeholders lack power and legitimacy. That is to say that decisions that are made by stakeholders without power and legitimacy are likely to be challenged and defeated at some point, potentially derailing a project.|
