Stakeholder interviews reveal roles, influence, concerns and dependencies, but participants may describe others from a partial perspective. A stakeholder map should distinguish verified organisational facts from interview-based perceptions.
Extract four evidence types
- Formal role and decision authority.
- Operational influence.
- Interest, impact and concerns.
- Relationships, dependencies and communication routes.
Label the source
Record who supplied each claim and whether it is confirmed by an organisation chart, governance document or another interview.
Avoid personality scoring
Do not use voice or sentiment analysis to infer trustworthiness, motivation or resistance. Map expressed positions and observable authority.
Create an engagement need
| Stakeholder | Decision role | Impact | Concern | Evidence | Next engagement |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Named role | Approve, advise or informed | High/medium/low with rationale | Attributed issue | Source link | Specific action |
