Stakeholder Map

A stakeholder map identifies everyone with an interest in a project's outcome and how much influence and interest each one has.

Example

Before a major rollout, a team lists the client's decision-maker, day-to-day contact, and end users separately, since each needs different information and involvement.

Why it matters

Mapping stakeholders before a project starts catches the person whose buy-in is actually required, before their absence derails a decision later.

Limits and cautions

A stakeholder map made once at kickoff can go stale as a project evolves and the relevant people change.

Relevance to Stelaah

Stelaah's client and contact records can hold roles and relationships that a stakeholder map draws from directly.

This connection describes product intent, not a guarantee that every plan or workflow supports every related capability.
