4. Contact Information ??
Contact details like email, phone number, or any other preferred communication channel.
5. Requirement ??

6. Expectations ??
The expectations the stakeholder has for the project's outcome and deliverables.
7. Influence ??
The level of influence the stakeholder has over the project (e.g., high, medium, low), which indicates how much power they have in affecting the project's direction or decisions.
8. Classification ???

Internal/External: Whether they are inside or outside the organization.
Supportive/Resistant/Neutral: Their attitude toward the project.
