A stakeholder management mechanism for volunteer projects is proposed, which is based on the method of dividing stakeholders into groups depending on the degree of their interest and influence. Effective management of interested parties will make it possible to avoid misunderstandings and contradictions, improve the quality of the final product and contribute to the successful implementation of volunteer projects. The originality and practical significance of the study is confirmed by the possibility of using the proposed measures as a practical tool for managing stakeholders of volunteer projects.
