Julie is currently populating her project's stakeholder register with the names and details of the people identified during the Identify Stakeholders process. Some of these people are not supporting the project but they can directly influence the project. Julie is adding these people to her project's stakeholder register because?

1. These people are negative stakeholders and they have to be closely managed.

2. Although these people are not stakeholders, they have influence over the project.

3. Julie is adding them to the stakeholder register as they are potential project stakeholders.

4. Although these are not stakeholders, their names were identified during the Identify Stakeholders process

Which one is the correct answer? I pick number 3 because number 1 is not correct. Stakeholders can have both positive and negative influence to the project, therefore 3 is the best choice. Your thoughts?
