A stakeholder is any individual, group or organization that can affect, be (positively or negatively) affected by, or even perceive itself to be affected by the project. The Project Stakeholder Matrix lists all (key) project stakeholders and their contact details and clearly states their role(s) in the project. It also includes the project beneficiaries, or end users of the project’s deliverables. A stakeholder can exert influence over the project and its deliverables, thus stakeholders can also be classified according to their relevance for the project.
The purpose of the Project Stakeholder Matrix is to support the EUPM to effectively manage the project's stakeholders based on their power as well as positive or negative attitude. Information captured in the Project Stakeholder Matrix should be tailored to the project’s needs and used to define communication and engagement activities.
