What is the stakeholder register in project management? How to create it? As project managers, we need to create the stakeholder register in the initiation phase of the project. In this presentation, we try to describe what is the stakeholder register and how to create it? and what is the information we have to add in the stakeholder register? A stakeholder register is a project document that has information about the project stakeholders. It identifies the people, groups, and organizations that have any interest in the work and the outcome.

The stakeholder register is used to identify those people and organizations impacted
by the project and to document relevant information about each stakeholder.
R e l e v a n t i n fo r m a t i o n c a n i n c l u d e :
• Name
• Position in the organization
• Role in the project
• Contact information
• List of stakeholder’s major requirements
• List of stakeholder’s expectations
• Classification of each stakeholder

The stakeholder register is an output
from the process Identify Stakeholders.
The stakeholder register is a dynamic
project document. The stakeholders,
their level of influence, requirements,
and classification are likely to change
throughout the project.

Consider the following tips to help us to tailor the stakeholder register to meet our
needs:
• Combine the position in the organization with the role on the project, especially if
it is a smaller project and everyone knows everyone else’s position.
• Combine the stakeholder analysis matrix information with the stakeholder register.
• Eliminate position, role, and contact information for small internal projects.

The stakeholder register should be aligned and consistent with the following
documents:
• Project charter
• Stakeholder analysis matrix
• Stakeholder engagement plan

We can use the element descriptions in the following table to assist us in developing
the stakeholder register.
