A stakeholder power map helps to visualize the importance of various stakeholders and your relationship with them so you can prioritize your time according to the most powerful and most needed stakeholders.
- Determine the importance of each stakeholder according to power/influence, impact, and support.
- Focus on key players: relevant stakeholders who have high power/influence, should have high involvement, and are highly impacted.
- Engage the stakeholders that are impacted most and have the power to impede the success of IT.
