Stakeholder Analysis Generator

Understand who can shape a project

A stakeholder analysis relates people and groups to a particular decision or change. A power-interest grid is one view: it asks who can influence the outcome and who is actively concerned with it.

Use it before choosing an engagement plan

Rollouts and policy changes often affect people who are not in the approval chain. The ERP example shows possible quadrant placements and engagement approaches; actual influence and interest must be assessed for your organization.

Treat the grid as a revisable assessment

1. Define power locally. Budget authority, expertise, and informal influence may matter in different ways.
2. Separate interest from impact. Someone can be strongly affected without currently following the project.
3. Explain each placement. Record evidence or mark the position as an assumption.
4. Keep affected groups visible. Low decision power is not a reason to exclude people from consultation.
5. Revisit at milestones. Roles and concerns change as a project moves toward delivery.

Make the engagement reasoning visible

MyMap organizes your stakeholder notes into a visual grid. Ask to move a group, add its concerns, or draft contact plans after checking the placements with people who know the project.
