What stakeholder-mapping does

The skill plots project participants on two separate 2x2 grids. The Power × Interest matrix sets your communication approach, determining whether a stakeholder needs close partnership, executive briefings, or regular status notes.

Relying solely on that classic grid risks favoring executive authority while ignoring end users. The Impact × Power matrix flags individuals who bear the brunt of changes but lack decision-making weight. Comparing both outputs uncovers hidden risks and informs quadrant migration.

Arriving without a prepared list forces the agent to collect names from scratch, extending work beyond the estimated 25 to 40 minutes. Feed its outputs into stakeholder-engagement-advisor to draft specific outreach plans.

What it helps with

  • categorize stakeholders by influence and engagement level
  • surface affected user groups that lack decision-making power
  • build an engagement plan before roadmap reviews
  • reassess stakeholder dynamics after an internal reorg

Example prompts for the agent

  • Map our 14 billing migration stakeholders across both grids, roles attached
  • Find which user groups lack a voice in our upcoming roadmap update
  • Analyze executive power versus team impact for this compliance overhaul

Questions about stakeholder-mapping

How do I install stakeholder-mapping in Claude Code?

Run npx skills add deanpeters/Product-Manager-Skills --skill stakeholder-mapping -a claude-code. The skill file installs to ~/.claude/skills/stakeholder-mapping/SKILL.md.

What is the purpose of running two separate grids?

Power × Interest determines how often to brief executives, while Impact × Power reveals who suffers the consequences of failure without having authority. Comparing them stops teams from building for the wrong priorities.

What other skills does this workflow rely on?

It works best with input lists from stakeholder-identification and hands off the analyzed quadrants directly to stakeholder-engagement-advisor.
