Maps the people and groups with a stake in a project, documenting their needs, concerns, influence, and engagement approach. Use at project kickoff, when taking over from another PM, or when resistance signals misalignment. For the update you send to those stakeholders, use foundation-stakeholder-update instead; this skill maps them, that one talks to them.

I'm kicking off a major overhaul of our enterprise API platform next month. It impacts security, legal, sales, and third-party integrations, and I need a formal stakeholder analysis to map out who has influence, what their key concerns are, how their relationships interact, and how to communicate with them effectively throughout the rollout. Can you build out a full stakeholder summary document for this initiative?

A stakeholder summary documents the people and groups who have interest in or influence over a project, capturing their needs, concerns, and relationships. Effective stakeholder management often determines project success more than technical execution, making this document essential for navigating organizational complexity.

Identify All Stakeholders List everyone with a stake in the project: sponsors, approvers, contributors, consumers of the output, and those affected by changes. Cast a wide net initially.you can prioritize later. Include both individuals and groups.
Assess Influence and Interest For each stakeholder, evaluate their influence (power to affect the project) and interest (how much they care about outcomes). This determines how much attention each requires.
Understand Their Perspective Document what each stakeholder needs from the project, what concerns or risks they perceive, and what a successful outcome looks like to them. When possible, validate these directly through conversation.
Map Relationships Identify key dependencies, alliances, and potential conflicts between stakeholders. Understanding who influences whom helps you navigate organizational dynamics.
Categorize by Engagement Level Based on influence and interest, determine the appropriate engagement approach: actively manage, keep satisfied, keep informed, or monitor. Different stakeholders need different levels of attention.
