This document discusses stakeholder mapping and provides guidance on its purpose, when it should be created, and how stakeholders should be identified. A stakeholder map helps visually consolidate and communicate the key constituents of a project. It is preferably created when the project plan is being developed. Stakeholders can be identified by general or specific roles, by actual people, and relationships can be visualized through methods like scale, line, and proximity. The conclusion states there is no right way to create a stakeholder map as long as it serves the purpose of identifying key players and their relationships.
