Summarise a Complex Stakeholder Landscape Before a Project Starts
The technical plan is sorted but the politics are not, and projects rarely die for technical reasons. This builds a stakeholder map: who can stop, change or approve the work, who is merely affected, and where the surprises tend to hide. Suits a project manager who wants to know the field before kickoff, not three weeks in.
<context>

5. Draft an engagement strategy for the three most important stakeholders.
