Stakeholder Analysis

A method for deliberately collecting and evaluating both numeric and descriptive data to identify whose interests, influence, and needs must be considered throughout the project life cycle.

Key Points

  • Collects quantitative and qualitative information about people and groups affected by the project.
  • Assesses power, interest, influence, impact, and support or resistance levels.
  • Prioritizes stakeholders and guides tailored engagement and communication strategies.
  • Is iterative and updated as the project context and stakeholder positions change.

Example

A project manager launching a new CRM interviews department heads, surveys end users, and reviews org charts. The team maps stakeholders on a power-interest grid, flags the sales VP as high power-high interest, and creates a targeted engagement plan to secure sponsorship and timely decisions.
