While planning a multi-site infrastructure upgrade, you identify more than 50 stakeholders ranging from the CIO to end-user department assistants. Some hold authority to approve capital expenditures, whereas others are mainly concerned about day-to-day workflow impacts. To prioritize your engagement efforts, which stakeholder-categorization tool should you apply first?
The power/interest grid groups stakeholders by their level of authority (power) and by how much they care about the project's outcomes (interest). Plotting stakeholders in this matrix lets the project manager decide who must be managed closely, kept satisfied, kept informed, or simply monitored. Other models-such as a salience model, RACI matrix, or an organizational chart-serve different purposes and do not directly align power with interest for engagement planning.
