Influence/interest 2×2 + comms cadence.
Stakeholder Map & Comms Planner
Drag stakeholders onto a power/interest grid, see who’s under- or over-managed, then turn it into a comms cadence — who hears what, through which channel, how often.
What Stakeholder Map & Comms Planner does
Power / interest 2×2
Position each stakeholder on the classic influence/interest grid and see the picture at a glance.
Owner-gap flags
Spot high-power stakeholders with no clear owner before they become a problem.
Comms cadence
Attach a channel and frequency to each stakeholder so nobody important goes dark.
Export ready
Save the grid as a PNG for a deck, or the comms plan as an .xlsx.
Use it for
- ✓ Stakeholder analysis at kickoff or a program reset
- ✓ A comms plan you can hand to a sponsor or PMO
- ✓ Making sure no high-influence stakeholder is being ignored
Questions
What is a power/interest grid?
A 2×2 that plots each stakeholder by how much power they hold and how interested they are, so you know who to manage closely, keep satisfied, keep informed or just monitor.
Can I export the stakeholder map?
Yes — export the grid as a PNG for slides, and the comms plan as an Excel file to share with your team.
