Stakeholder register template. Know who shapes the work.
Worked stakeholder example
The same update should not go to everyone.
These fictional stakeholders need different conversations. The blank 14-field download includes name, role, contacts, organization, power, interest, project connection, decision role, and preferred contact method. Add a scheduled next touchpoint as your own column if useful.
| Stakeholder and role | Power / interest | Why they matter | Suggested next touchpoint |
|---|---|---|---|
| Executive sponsor | High / high | Launch date and unresolved tradeoffs | Weekly decision brief; confirm rollout scope on 14 July |
| Operations lead | Medium / high | Readiness, training, and support handoff | Working session before UAT exit; review open support questions |
| Finance partner | High / medium | Approved spend and forecast change | Milestone summary; flag any budget variance before steering |
Revisit power, interest, and the next conversation after a scope change or new decision. Record why someone matters in Context/notes or Project connection; the scheduled next-touchpoint column shown here is a suggested addition, not a field in the download.
