Stakeholder Mapping Techniques

Stakeholder mapping techniques help organizations identify and prioritize individuals or groups that have an interest or role in a project. This process involves categorizing stakeholders based on their influence and interest levels. Common methods include the Power/Interest Grid, which sorts stakeholders into four categories: high power/high interest, high power/low interest, low power/high interest, and low power/low interest. This helps teams understand whom to engage actively, who to keep informed, and who may require minimal attention, ensuring effective communication and resource allocation throughout a project's life cycle.
