Stakeholder identification

PMBOK Guide (6th Ed), Part 1, Sec. 13.1 & 13.1.2

After understanding the business case, the organizational
context and needs for the project, the first step in planning
is to identify the project stakeholders.

Identifying and analysing your stakeholders is the best way
to start writing the project charter…

Project team and project internal stakeholders

3 6 10 15, 21, 28…

1. Why can’t you have too many people in a team?
Too many communication channels = Too much complexity.

2. Therefore, we need to introduce some structure around
communication channels and team members
• Organizational
• Communication structures created by the PM

Project key stakeholders You! (PM)

Your Sponsor

Steering
Committee

Project
Team

Subject Matter Expert

Steering Committee
MemberTechnical

Team

Another
Technical
Team

• PM has a central coordinating role for
the project team.

• PM needs a strong 2-way line of
communication to the Project
Sponsor.

• Sponsor chairs steering committee,
uses it to make timely decisions.

• Subject Matter Experts have leading
role in their technical teams (may be
a PM themselves)

• Technical Teams can be internal to
project executing organization or
could be contractors/ suppliers

• There can be many technical teams
(only 1 project team and 1 steering
committee)

• Subject matter experts
move between their technical team
and the project team

The project manager is the
person assigned by the
performing organization to lead
the team that is responsible for
achieving the project
objectives.

Stakeholder register – how do we
find stakeholders?

• Identify stakeholders:
Brainstorming, expert
judgement, surveys,
questionnaires, meetings

• Analyse stakeholders

• Classify stakeholders

Stakeholders in ‘100% digital delivery and
assessment in GSOE9820 T2 20’
• Students
• Convener
• Guest lecturers
• Experienced demonstrators
• New demonstrators
• MME school management team
• Engineering faculty school

management team

Tip: Identify stakeholders as people, not
organizations or other inanimate entities.

Benefits only make sense when they are
related to stakeholders

Example: Some benefits of building a new online university course…

Benefits Stakeholders

• Students
• Convener
• Guest lecturers
• Demonstrators
• Program authority
• OH&S officer

• Study from abroad

• Comply with social distancing rules
