The ‘Project Stakeholder Management Plan’ used to determine and document individuals and entities who have a stake in the success or failure of a project. It is the systematic process used to identify individuals and/or entities who have a ‘stake’ in the success or failure of a project and to develop a plan for managing their interest, their influence, and their involvement in the project. This includes analyzing their relative interest in the project, their respective base(s) of power, as well as the potential impact that they might exert on the project. A subset of the ‘Stakeholder Management Plan’ is focused on ways to engage stakeholders in the project, to gain their support and reduce potential opposition; communications is a key component of a stakeholder engagement initiative. Stakeholder management is critical to the success of every project.
