Stakeholder Analysis — PMP - Project Management Professional Practice Questions

Stakeholder analysis is the process of systematically gathering and analyzing information about individuals and groups who may affect or be affected by a project. On the PMP exam, this analysis is performed during the Identify Stakeholders process and produces artifacts such as the stakeholder register, which documents interests, involvement, and potential impact. Candidates are expected to know how to assess stakeholder power, influence, and attitudes to inform engagement strategies. Accurate stakeholder analysis is foundational to communication planning and risk identification throughout the project lifecycle.
