Blog 3 Stakeholders -- Stakeholder register



After the salience model (blog 2 Stakeholders) has been completed for the stakeholders in a content creation project it is useful to create a stakeholder register.  This spreadsheet is important as it can be referred too when a question arises about how to handle stakeholders within a project. In addition to containing information regarding the classification, it includes the specifics of how to communicate with the stakeholder.  

By communicating we mean for example: does one need to include them in all communications, only urgent ones, or only to provide general information?  It determines the level of information a particular person has access to from the project team’s perspective. 

If a stakeholder's classification is need to know only, and she is a consumer, it makes no sense to tell them about the server issues that are affecting the website.  However, if the servers are down and the stakeholder is intimately involved in the technology aspects of the project it may be prudent to keep her abreast of the situation as it evolves.  

Below is an image of a simple register, that I have modified to add the salience model.
