Questions to Ask | When Performing Stakeholder Analysis

Stakeholder analysis is the foundation of political handling for a project. In this analysis, we need to identify the players, their commitments, power plays, interests, and relationships. We start the analysis with stakeholder influence and impact on the project execution. 
 The following questions can narrow down our list of stakeholders.

• Who has a fundamental impact on the organization’s performance? Can they be replaced? We would look for more than 2 but less than 6 key stakeholders for effectiveness. 
• What do we want from the stakeholder, and if we want the relationship to grow? ​

The analysis result allows us to decide on the engagement plan. On the other hand, we still need to communicate with each stakeholder to learn more about their expectations and adjust the plan.
