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
1. **Identify stakeholders**: List all relevant individuals and groups — executives, engineering leads, designers, marketing, sales, support, legal, finance, external partners, and end users.
2. **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
3. **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 |
4. **For each quadrant**, recommend:
- Communication frequency (daily, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly)
- Communication format (1:1, email, Slack, meeting, dashboard, all-hands or AMA; for a large Keep Informed group, an anonymous live Q&A lets people raise the concerns they wouldn't in a meeting, see the live-qa skill)
- Key messages and framing
- Potential risks if this stakeholder is neglected
5. **Create a communication plan table**:
| Stakeholder | Role | Power | Interest | Strategy | Frequency | Channel | Key Message | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
6. **Flag potential conflicts**: Identify stakeholders with competing interests and suggest alignment strategies.
Think step by step. Save the stakeholder map as a markdown document.
