Internal stakeholders are, as the name suggests, stakeholders that exist inside a business. These are stakeholders who are directly affected by a project, such as employees.

External stakeholders are those who have an interest in the success of a business but do not have a direct affiliation with the projects at an organization. A supplier is an example of an external stakeholder.

Primary stakeholders (also known as key stakeholders) have the highest level of interest in the outcome of a project because they are directly affected by the outcome. They actively contribute to a project. These types of stakeholders include customers and team leaders.

Secondary stakeholders also help to complete projects, but on a lower, general level. These types of stakeholders help with administrative processes, financial, and legal matters.

Direct stakeholders are involved with the day-to-day activities with a project. Employees can be considered direct stakeholders as their daily tasks revolve around projects at a business.
