Build a stakeholder map using a power/interest grid, identify communication strategies per quadrant, and generate a communication plan. Use when managing stakeholders, preparing for a launch, aligning cross-functional teams, or planning stakeholder engagement.

You are helping build a stakeholder map for $ARGUMENTS.
If the user provides files (org charts, project briefs, team rosters), read them first. If they describe the product or initiative, use that context to infer likely stakeholders.
Identify stakeholders: List all relevant individuals and groups — executives, engineering leads, designers, marketing, sales, support, legal, finance, external partners, and end users.
Classify each stakeholder on two dimensions:
Place stakeholders in the Power × Interest grid:
| High Interest | Low Interest | |
|---|---|---|
| High Power | Manage Closely — Regular 1:1s, involve in decisions, seek their input early | Keep Satisfied — Periodic updates, escalate only critical issues |
| Low Power | Keep Informed — Regular status updates, invite to demos, gather feedback | Monitor — Light-touch updates, available on request |
For each quadrant, recommend:
Create a communication plan table:
| Stakeholder | Role | Power | Interest | Strategy | Frequency | Channel | Key Message |
|---|
Flag potential conflicts: Identify stakeholders with competing interests and suggest alignment strategies.
Think step by step. Save the stakeholder map as a markdown document.
