Stakeholder Register

A project document that lists stakeholders, evaluates their interests and influence on the project, and organizes them into relevant categories.

Key Points

  • Created early and maintained throughout the project life cycle.
  • Captures stakeholder identity, role, interests, influence/impact, and contact details.
  • Groups stakeholders (for example by power/interest or engagement level) to tailor strategies.
  • Serves as an input to communication planning, stakeholder engagement, and risk management.

Example

On a hospital IT upgrade, the project manager records executives, department heads, nurses, the software vendor, and regulators in the stakeholder register. Each entry includes influence and interest ratings and a category (high power/high interest, medium interest/low power, etc.). This helps the team decide who needs detailed updates, who to consult on requirements, and where to focus engagement efforts.
