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 Interest Low Interest High Power Manage Closely — Regular 1:1s, involve in decisions, seek their input early Keep Satisfied — Periodic updates, escalate only critical issues Low Power Keep Informed — Regular status updates, invite to demos, gather feedback Monitor — Light-touch updates, available on request -
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:
Stakeholder Role Power Interest Strategy Frequency Channel Key Message -
Flag potential conflicts: Identify stakeholders with competing interests and suggest alignment strategies.
Think step by step. Save the stakeholder map as a markdown document.
