Stakeholder Analysis

A structured process used to identify and understand business stakeholders at the program and portfolio levels.

Key Points

  • Determines who the business stakeholders are across programs and the broader portfolio.
  • Assesses stakeholder interest, influence, impact, and expectations to guide engagement.
  • Produces a stakeholder register and informs the stakeholder engagement and communication approaches.
  • Conducted early and revisited regularly as programs and portfolio priorities evolve.

Example

A company launches a multi-year digital transformation portfolio with several programs. The portfolio team performs stakeholder analysis to identify executives, product leaders, regulators, operations, customers, and vendors, then maps their influence and information needs to shape engagement and governance.

PMP Example Question

  1. Perform stakeholder analysis to identify and assess stakeholders across programs and the portfolio.
  2. Develop detailed schedules for each component project.
  3. Finalize all procurement contracts before stakeholder engagement begins.
  4. Conduct a lessons learned session from prior projects.

Correct Answer: A — Stakeholder analysis

Explanation: Stakeholder analysis identifies business stakeholders at the program and portfolio levels and informs how to engage them effectively.

AI Systems with Claude, for Scrum Masters and Project Managers

Most AI pilots in project management do not fail on the model. They fail because somebody pointed the thing at a decision instead of at a task. This course is built around that distinction, and around the work that follows once you get it right.

Eight teaching sections, taught against one running project from the first lecture to the last. You watch a system get built, then you build the same one against your own sprint. Nothing here is a demo that works only on the example.

You finish with five working systems and you keep them. The sprint report machine turns your board export and standup notes into the report you currently write by hand. The retro intelligence system tells you what the team keeps saying, not just what it said this time. The stakeholder comms engine drafts the update in the register the audience expects. The backlog health monitor flags the quiet decay nobody has time to check for. The risk and dependency tracker follows the chains that actually bite.

Seventy-six working files ship with it, across four sections, so every system is built against real sprint data rather than material invented for a slide. Four sprints of retrospectives, board exports, standup notes, backlog and risk data.
