To begin the broader set of exercises associated with stakeholder management, it’s important to define who exactly these stakeholders are. Since team members may have very different perspectives, it’s a great idea to discuss this as a team.

As part of their overall planning, team members outline detailed tasks or activities necessary to achieve higher-level goals. In this part of the process, they identify stakeholders to inform aligned to the particular tasks or activities under a specific goal.

For the activity plan, begin by using a calendar template to lay out specific tasks necessary to reach a given milestone.
