[Product Owner/Manager] Who do you consider to be the most important product stakeholder? Flashcards
Who?
The most important product stakeholder is the end user or customer, as they are the ultimate beneficiaries of the product and the ones whose needs the product is designed to satisfy. The primary goal of product development is to solve user problems, improve their experience, or provide value, which in turn drives business success. While other stakeholders—such as executives, investors, and cross-functional teams—play essential roles in defining business priorities, resources, and technical feasibility, the product’s long-term success depends on meeting customer expectations and delivering a meaningful experience. Keeping the end user as the focal point ensures the product aligns with real-world needs and builds loyalty, which benefits all other stakeholders by driving engagement, revenue, and brand strength.
