Doubt in stakeholder management plan

Greg's project is in the initiating stage. The sponsor of the project has asked Greg to present a list of the identified project stakeholders at the next project update meeting. The sponsor has also asked Greg to present the project stakeholders’ current and desired engagement levels so that they can brainstorm on the stakeholder management strategy. Which of the following is a presentation tool that can help Greg summarize all of this information in a tabular format?

 

Stakeholders engagement assessment matrix

Stakeholder register

Communications management plan

 Stakeholder management plan

 

The answer given is Stakeholders engagement assessment matrix

Since the project is in initiating stage , skateholdersengagement assessment matrix is correct?

 

Thanks in advance

Answer is correct

 

You can document the steps that you will take to move stakeholders from resistant to neutral or unaware to supportive (and so forth) in a matrix called a Stakeholder Engagement Assessment Matrix.

Stakeholder Unaware Resistant Neutral Supportive Leading
Manny B     A  
Jocelyn   B A    
Jamie       B A
Kim B   A    

Prior to implementing a stakeholder management strategy, Manny was unaware of the project, and that the desired outcome is that after the plan is implemented, he will be supportive. Jocelyn is resistant, and the desired “after” classification is neutral. This type of matrix can be recorded as part of the stakeholder management plan, or it can be used to develop the approach documented in the stakeholder management plan.
