Stakeholder Summary
A stakeholder summary documents the people and groups who have interest in or influence over a project, capturing their needs, concerns, and relationships. Effective stakeholder management often determines project success more than technical execution, making this document essential for navigating organizational complexity.
When to Use
- At the start of a new project or initiative to map the landscape
- When taking over an existing project from another PM
- Before major decision points that require cross-functional buy-in
- When experiencing resistance or misalignment mid-project
- During organizational changes that shift stakeholder dynamics
- When preparing communication strategies for launches or changes
When NOT to Use
- You need the async update you will SEND to stakeholders -> use
foundation-stakeholder-update; this skill maps them, that one talks to them - You are preparing for one specific high-stakes meeting -> use
foundation-meeting-brief - You need customer research synthesis rather than an influence map -> use
discover-interview-synthesis - You want a persona to design or market against -> use
foundation-persona
