According to the TOGAF Standard, 10th Edition, a stakeholder is ''an individual with an interest in a system'' 1. A stakeholder can be anyone who is affected by the system, or who can influence or be influenced by the system. Stakeholders can have different roles, perspectives, and concerns regarding the system, and they can be internal or external to the organization. Stakeholder management is a technique that helps to identify, analyze, and engage the stakeholders of an architecture project, and to address their needs and expectations 2. The other options are not correct, as they are not the term used by the TOGAF Standard to describe an individual with an interest in a system. A consumer is ''an individual or group that uses a product or service'' 1. A lead architect is ''an individual who is responsible for leading the development of an architecture'' 1. A sponsor is ''an individual who provides funding and support for an architecture project'' 1.
