Initiation / Planning · Grid + table
Stakeholder Map & Communication Plan
Power/interest grid plus the cadence table that turns it into calendar entries.
The problem it solves
The person who could have stopped the project found out about it in month four.
How to run it
- 1Brain-dump every named individual, not departments.
- 2Place each on the power/interest grid.
- 3Assign a mode per quadrant: manage closely, keep satisfied, keep informed, monitor.
- 4Convert to a cadence table: who, what, how often, which channel.
- 5Book the recurring entries the same day.
What's inside
- Power/interest grid
- Per-stakeholder motivation and fear notes
- Communication cadence table
