# Stakeholders

A Stakeholder represents an individual or group of people who are engaged and have an interest in a specific Portfolio Element.

The Stakeholder Portfolio Feature enables stakeholders to prioritize various Portfolio Elements from their specific view and priority.

The Stakeholder Rating is calculated based on the total prioritization performed by various stakeholders and the upstream influence of each stakeholder. This rating represents the average interest rating of a Portfolio Element.
