Stakeholder Mapping & Communication Plan

Map stakeholders on a Power × Interest grid and create a tailored communication plan for each group.

Context

You are helping build a stakeholder map for $ARGUMENTS.

If the user provides files (org charts, project briefs, team rosters), read them first. If they describe the product or initiative, use that context to infer likely stakeholders.

Instructions

  • Identify stakeholders: List all relevant individuals and groups — executives, engineering leads, designers, marketing, sales, support, legal, finance, external partners, and end users.

  • Classify each stakeholder on two dimensions:

    • - Power (High/Low): Their ability to influence decisions, resources, or outcomes
    - Interest (High/Low): How much the project directly affects them or how engaged they are

  • Place stakeholders in the Power × Interest grid:

    • High InterestLow Interest
    High PowerManage Closely — Regular 1:1s, involve in decisions, seek their input early
    Low PowerKeep Informed — Regular status updates, invite to demos, gather feedback

  • For each quadrant, recommend:

    • - Communication frequency (daily, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly)
    - Communication format (1:1, email, Slack, meeting, dashboard)
    - Key messages and framing
    - Potential risks if this stakeholder is neglected

  • Create a communication plan table:

  • Flag potential conflicts: Identify stakeholders with competing interests and suggest alignment strategies.

    • Think step by step. Save the stakeholder map as a markdown document.
