Stake Holder Analysis
Quantify the impact of the various stakeholders on a project, task or mission:

-Who are the key supporters?

-Who are the key opponents?

Purpose
Identify the key supporters that can help advance the project so you can keep them informed and develop their support
Identify the key opponents that could negatively affect the project so you can address their needs/objections correctly

Data
List of stakeholders with the following attributes numerically evaluated:

Attitude towards the project:

-(-10 = strongly against to +10 = strongly for)

Activity relative to the project:

-(0 = completely passive to 10 = strongly active)

Power within the organization to affect the project:

-(0 = no effective power to 10 = powerful influence)

Interest in the project:

-(0 = no interest to 10 = very interested)

Apply a code to each name for graphing purposes.
