A team is a group with a common goal, but lots of groups have a common goal. And a team works together, but lots of groups work together. While stakeholder is the “person, or organization that is actively involved in the project, or whose interests may be positively or negatively affected by execution or completion of the project. A stakeholder may also exert influence over the project and its deliverables.The first is putting together a team from scratch for a specific purpose. That purpose may be for the short term or much more momentous and lengthy .But the team members and leadership are in the position of borrowing resources, while the stakeholders control their resources. So their relationships with stakeholders are especially important. If their relationship is good, they may be able to consistently acquire the best staff and the best equipment for their projects. If relationships aren’t good, they may find themselves not able to get good people or equipment needed on the project.
