Stakeholder Analysis

A structured process used to identify and understand business stakeholders at the program and portfolio levels.

Key Points

  • Determines who the business stakeholders are across programs and the broader portfolio.
  • Assesses stakeholder interest, influence, impact, and expectations to guide engagement.
  • Produces a stakeholder register and informs the stakeholder engagement and communication approaches.
  • Conducted early and revisited regularly as programs and portfolio priorities evolve.

Example

A company launches a multi-year digital transformation portfolio with several programs. The portfolio team performs stakeholder analysis to identify executives, product leaders, regulators, operations, customers, and vendors, then maps their influence and information needs to shape engagement and governance.

PMP Example Question

When a new portfolio is initiated that groups several related programs, what should the manager do first to align expectations and plan communications?

  1. Perform stakeholder analysis to identify and assess stakeholders across programs and the portfolio.
  2. Develop detailed schedules for each component project.
  3. Finalize all procurement contracts before stakeholder engagement begins.
  4. Conduct a lessons learned session from prior projects.

Correct Answer: A — Stakeholder analysis

Explanation: Stakeholder analysis identifies business stakeholders at the program and portfolio levels and informs how to engage them effectively.

Advanced Project Management — Measuring Project Performance

Move beyond guesswork and status reporting. This course helps you measure real progress, spot problems early, and make confident decisions using proven project performance techniques. If you manage complex projects and want clearer visibility and control, this course is built for you.

This is not abstract theory. You’ll work step by step through Earned Value Management (EVM), learning how cost, schedule, and scope come together to show true performance. You’ll build a solid foundation in EVM concepts, understand why formulas work, and learn how performance data actually supports leadership decisions.

You’ll master Work Breakdown Structures (WBS), control accounts, and budget baselines, then apply core EVM metrics like EAC, TCPI, and variance analysis. Through a detailed real-world example, you’ll forecast outcomes, analyze trends, and understand contingencies and management reserves with confidence.

Learn how experienced project managers monitor performance, communicate results clearly, and take corrective action before projects slip. With practical exercises and hands-on analysis, you’ll be ready to apply EVM immediately. Enroll now and start managing performance with clarity and control.
