How to use this template
What it helps you decide
It helps the team choose proportionate engagement based on evidenced needs and relationships, avoiding assumptions that formal seniority alone determines influence or that every affected group needs the same information.
How to complete it
- Define Analysis scope and evidence and assess Needs and project effects using actual stakeholder information, separating confirmed concerns from assumptions requiring further validation.
- Evaluate Influence and engagement assessment and Interactions and prioritisation, considering relationships and dependencies rather than treating each stakeholder as an isolated entry on a list.
- Recommend engagement actions with responsible relationship owners, then define Validation and review so changing interests, personnel, or project impacts are reflected in the analysis.
Who prepares and reviews it
A project manager or stakeholder lead usually prepares it with client representatives, technical teams, communications staff, and relevant local knowledge. Relationship owners validate findings, while authorized leadership decides sensitive engagement priorities and commitments.
A mistake to avoid
Inferring stakeholder support from silence can conceal unmet information needs or unresolved operational impacts that emerge only when construction decisions begin affecting daily activities.
Illustrative example
Illustrative example: a road project affects industrial tenants whose shift changes depend on a shared access route. The analysis records operational needs and links them to the construction sequence. The team prioritizes access coordination with tenant representatives before issuing traffic arrangements that could disrupt their operations.
