Stakeholder Register
Identify, analyze and manage project stakeholders effectively.
Projects succeed or fail on stakeholders, yet most teams keep that knowledge in their heads. This free Stakeholder Register puts every stakeholder in one place — role, influence, interest, expectations and how you'll engage them — so nobody important is overlooked and communication is deliberate rather than reactive.
How to use it: list each stakeholder, rate their influence and interest, and note their main expectations and concerns. Set an engagement approach for each (keep informed, manage closely, and so on) and update it as the project evolves and new stakeholders appear.
Key features
