This assignment focuses on the human connection to a common designed object/process.

There have been a few inquiries about the content and word count for the upcoming Stakeholder Analysis assignment. So, I wanted to share this note:
1) While the word count is not critical, I do expect the analysis to adequately address the second point made in the assignment criteria. A total of 8-10 pages of work is sufficient (including title and reference pages, as well as the images).
2) The analysis should consist of at least three parts: Introduction, a detailed identification and prioritization of all stakeholders, and the discussion of the topic within its individual and societal context.
3) Using images to support the analysis such as stakeholder mapping and stakeholder matrix.
4) Title and Reference pages
