      ab: The article discusses software development projects, examining the impact that subversive stakeholders have on such projects. Stakeholders are those who have influence over, and interest in, software projects, the authors state, including developers, consultants, and leads. According to the article, a "subversive stakeholder" is one who wants the project to fail and actively works towards that end. A survey of software practitioners that addressed experiences with such subversion is discussed including the methods and motives of those who practice subversive acts.
