FAQ
A stakeholder analysis template is a worksheet for listing people or groups affected by a project, scoring their influence and interest, and planning how to communicate with them.
A useful stakeholder matrix includes the stakeholder name, role, group, influence score, interest score, attitude, priority, communication cadence, owner, and next action.
Prioritize stakeholders by combining influence and interest. High-influence, high-interest stakeholders need close management; high-influence, low-interest stakeholders need concise executive updates.
Run stakeholder analysis before kickoff, before major scope decisions, and whenever new sponsors, reviewers, or affected teams join the project.
