When should a stakeholders analysis be carried out?

Managing Stakeholders is crucial to the success of any organisation, programme or project. This makes it very important to identify and analyse your stakeholders as early as possible.

Firstly identify all of the people who could be affected by the organisation/change/project. Then analyse them using your preferred analysis technique. Once the analysis is complete develop an engagement plan and refer to that frequently to ensure that your stakeholders are managed effectively.
