The Stakeholder Management Plan Template provides a guided approach to effectively identify, analyze and manage stakeholders for a project. This deliverable is developed during the project's planning phase and is usually created by a project or program manager. It is necessary to have a planned strategy for dealing with your project stakeholders as they are the people who are mostly impacted by project results. The key elements within this template include:
• Analysis and classification or key stakeholders
• Current and desired engagement levels of stakeholders
• Understand stakeholder goals, objectives, and expectations
• Stakeholder communication requirements
• Identifying changes to stakeholder groups
• Method for identifying issues, remediation actions, and improvement opportunities for managing stakeholders
• Implementing changes for managing stakeholders, including reviewing and revising goals and expectations
• Communicating results to stakeholders
This template is customizable for you to tailor to your projects needs.
The template includes a comprehensive matrix for categorizing stakeholders based on their awareness, resistance, neutrality, support, and leadership. This allows for a nuanced understanding of each stakeholder's position and influence on the project. By leveraging this matrix, project managers can tailor their engagement strategies to effectively address and align stakeholder interests.
Additionally, the Word document features a detailed criteria and description table, facilitating the evaluation and documentation of stakeholder attributes. This structured approach ensures that all relevant stakeholder information is captured systematically, enabling better decision-making and more effective communication throughout the project lifecycle.
