stakeholder-map

The stakeholder-map Claude Code skill creates a power/interest grid analysis that systematically identifies stakeholders for a product launch or initiative, classifies them by their ability to influence outcomes and personal investment level, and generates tailored communication strategies for each quadrant. Use this when managing complex cross-functional projects, preparing organizational launches, aligning teams with competing priorities, or developing stakeholder engagement plans that require differentiated outreach by stakeholder type.

## Stakeholder Mapping & Communication Plan

Map stakeholders on a Power × Interest grid and create a tailored communication plan for each group.

### Context

You are helping build a stakeholder map for **$ARGUMENTS**.

If the user provides files (org charts, project briefs, team rosters), read them first. If they describe the product or initiative, use that context to infer likely stakeholders.

### Instructions

1. **Identify stakeholders**: List all relevant individuals and groups — executives, engineering leads, designers, marketing, sales, support, legal, finance, external partners, and end users.

2. **Classify each stakeholder** on two dimensions:
   - **Power** (High/Low): Their ability to influence decisions, resources, or outcomes
   - **Interest** (High/Low): How much the project directly affects them or how engaged they are

3. **Place stakeholders in the Power × Interest grid**:

   | | High Interest | Low Interest |
   |---|---|---|
   | **High Power** | **Manage Closely** — Regular 1:1s, involve in decisions, seek their input early | **Keep Satisfied** — Periodic updates, escalate only critical issues |
   | **Low Power** | **Keep Informed** — Regular status updates, invite to demos, gather feedback | **Monitor** — Light-touch updates, available on request |

4. **For each quadrant**, recommend:
   - Communication frequency (daily, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly)
   - Communication format (1:1, email, Slack, meeting, dashboard)
   - Key messages and framing
   - Potential risks if this stakeholder is neglected

5. **Create a communication plan table**:

   | Stakeholder | Role | Power | Interest | Strategy | Frequency | Channel | Key Message |
   |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

6. **Flag potential conflicts**: Identify stakeholders with competing interests and suggest alignment strategies.

Think step by step. Save the stakeholder map as a markdown document.

ab-test-analysisSkill

Analyze A/B test results with statistical significance, sample size validation, confidence intervals, and ship/extend/stop recommendations. Use when evaluating experiment results, checking if a test reached significance, interpreting split test data, or deciding whether to ship a variant.

analyze-feature-requestsSkill

Analyze and prioritize a list of feature requests by theme, strategic alignment, impact, effort, and risk. Use when reviewing customer feature requests, triaging a backlog, or making prioritization decisions.

ansoff-matrixSkill

Generate an Ansoff Matrix analysis mapping growth strategies across market penetration, market development, product development, and diversification. Use when considering growth options, planning market expansion, or evaluating strategic growth paths.

beachhead-segmentSkill

Identify the first beachhead market segment for a product launch. Evaluates segments against burning pain, willingness to pay, winnable market share, and referral potential. Use when choosing a first market, targeting an initial customer segment, or planning market entry strategy.

brainstorm-experiments-existingSkill

Design experiments to test assumptions for an existing product — prototypes, A/B tests, spikes, and other low-effort validation methods. Use when validating assumptions, testing feature ideas cheaply, or planning product experiments.

brainstorm-experiments-newSkill

Design lean startup experiments (pretotypes) for a new product. Creates XYZ hypotheses and suggests low-effort validation methods like landing pages, explainer videos, and pre-orders. Use when validating a new product idea, creating pretotypes, or testing market demand.

brainstorm-ideas-existingSkill

Brainstorm product ideas for an existing product using multi-perspective ideation from PM, Designer, and Engineer viewpoints. Use when generating new feature ideas, brainstorming solutions for an identified opportunity, or ideating with a product trio.

brainstorm-ideas-newSkill

Brainstorm feature ideas for a new product in initial discovery from PM, Designer, and Engineer perspectives. Use when starting product discovery for a new product, exploring features for a startup idea, or doing initial ideation.
