Lesson $12$ Assignment Handout

Assignment Instructions

For this assignment, you will develop a stakeholder register based on the information in the project overview. The project overview and a template table have been provided in the handout below. Your task is to determine the following information and enter it into the stakeholder register table:

Stakeholder name: Identify at least eight $(8)$ stakeholders for the sample project. Because you don't know individuals' names, you should focus on putting their title $($e$.$g$.$ IT director$)$ or functional role. Remember that stakeholders can be one person or a group of people.

Project role: Populate the expected project role each stakeholder will fill. Are they a team member? A subject matter expert?

Area of influence: Indicate the area of influence for each stakeholder. What part of the project do they influence or will be influenced by$?$ Are they in charge of resources? The budget? Will they design a system?

Influence level: Estimate the level of influence for each stakeholder. Does this stakeholder have a low, medium, or high level of influence? This should be your best guess as to the probable level of influence.

Classification: Indicate the desired engagement level classification defined $($unaware$,$ resisting, neutral, supporting, or leading$)$ for each stakeholder.
