Prompt Template

You are a senior project management consultant with 15 years of experience conducting stakeholder analyses for complex initiatives across Fortune 500 companies, government agencies, and nonprofit organizations. You specialize in identifying hidden stakeholders that teams often overlook and developing engagement strategies that turn potential blockers into champions.

I need a comprehensive stakeholder analysis for a project. The project is called [PROJECT_NAME] and here is what it involves:

[PROJECT_DESCRIPTION]

This project is in the [INDUSTRY:select:Technology,Healthcare,Finance,Manufacturing,Retail,Energy,Government,Education,Nonprofit,Construction,Professional Services,Media/Entertainment] industry. The type of initiative is a [PROJECT_TYPE:select:Software Implementation,Organizational Change,Product Launch,Process Improvement,Digital Transformation,Infrastructure Project,Merger/Acquisition Integration,Regulatory Compliance,Strategic Initiative,New Facility/Location].

The project is currently in the [PROJECT_PHASE:select:Initiation,Planning,Execution,Monitoring,Closing] phase.

Here are stakeholders I have already identified (if any): [KNOWN_STAKEHOLDERS?]

Any specific concerns or focus areas for this analysis: [FOCUS_AREAS?]

Please provide the following deliverables:

First, create a Stakeholder Register as a table with these columns: Stakeholder Name or Role, Department or Organization, Their Interest in the Project (what they care about), Potential Impact (positive or negative), and Current Attitude (supporter, neutral, or resistant). Include at least 12 to 15 stakeholders, thinking beyond the obvious to identify secondary stakeholders who might be affected or have influence.

Second, build a Power/Interest Matrix placing each stakeholder into one of four quadrants: High Power High Interest (Manage Closely), High Power Low Interest (Keep Satisfied), Low Power High Interest (Keep Informed), and Low Power Low Interest (Monitor). For each stakeholder, explain briefly why you placed them in that quadrant.

Third, develop Engagement Strategies for each quadrant. For the Manage Closely group, provide specific tactics for deep engagement and relationship building. For Keep Satisfied, explain how to maintain their support without overwhelming them. For Keep Informed, describe efficient communication approaches. For Monitor, clarify the minimal touch points needed.

Fourth, create Key Stakeholder Action Plans for the five most critical stakeholders. For each one, include their primary concern, what success looks like from their perspective, specific actions to build or maintain their support, potential risks if we fail to engage them properly, and the recommended relationship owner from the project team.

Fifth, provide a Communication Plan table with columns for Stakeholder Group, Communication Frequency, Preferred Channel, Key Messages, and Responsible Team Member. Tailor the frequency and channel recommendations based on each group's quadrant position.

Finally, highlight any Stakeholder Risks you identify, such as conflicting interests between stakeholders, potential coalition formations that could help or hinder the project, or stakeholders whose position might shift during different project phases.

Format all tables in Markdown. Use clear headers to separate each section. Keep your analysis practical and actionable rather than theoretical.

About Stakeholder Analysis Generator

Projects fail more often from stakeholder misalignment than from technical problems. Understanding who your stakeholders are, what they care about, and how much influence they carry determines whether your initiative gets the support it needs to succeed.

You provide your [PROJECT_NAME] and [PROJECT_DESCRIPTION], and the AI produces a complete stakeholder management package. It starts with a detailed stakeholder register identifying 12 to 15 people and groups, including secondary stakeholders that teams commonly overlook. Each stakeholder is mapped on a Power/Interest matrix to reveal who needs close management, who should be kept satisfied, and who requires lighter touch communication.

Beyond mapping, the generator creates actionable engagement strategies for each quadrant and detailed action plans for your five most critical stakeholders. It also produces a communication plan with recommended frequency, channels, and key messages tailored to each group. Open the output in Dock Editor to update your stakeholder map as the project evolves. Use this template alongside a Project Proposal Generator to embed stakeholder considerations into your project design, or pair it with a Risk Assessment Generator to connect stakeholder resistance to your risk register.

How to Use Stakeholder Analysis Generator

1

Copy the prompt template

Click the copy button to grab the full stakeholder analysis prompt. It includes variables for project type, industry, and phase that customize the output to your specific initiative.

2

Describe your project

Enter your project name and a detailed description. Include the scope, objectives, timeline, and any organizational context. The more detail you provide, the more accurately the AI identifies relevant stakeholders beyond the obvious ones.

3

Select industry and initiative type

Choose your industry and project type from options like software implementation, organizational change, or product launch. Each combination triggers different stakeholder patterns. For example, healthcare compliance projects surface regulatory stakeholders automatically.

4

Add known stakeholders

List any stakeholders you have already identified in the [KNOWN_STAKEHOLDERS] field. The generator uses these as seeds and expands the list by identifying connected roles, upstream dependencies, and affected groups you may not have considered.

5

Generate and refine your analysis

Paste the completed prompt into ChatGPT, Claude, or any AI platform. Review the Power/Interest matrix placement, validate with your project team, and use Dock Editor to maintain the stakeholder map as relationships evolve.
