discover-stakeholder-summary

Featured

Maps the people and groups with a stake in a project, documenting their needs, concerns, influence, and engagement approach. Use at project kickoff, when taking over from another PM, or when resistance signals misalignment. For the update you send to those stakeholders, use foundation-stakeholder-update instead; this skill maps them, that one talks to them.

<!-- PM-Skills | https://github.com/product-on-purpose/pm-skills | Apache 2.0 --> # Stakeholder Summary A stakeholder summary documents the people and groups who have interest in or influence over a project, capturing their needs, concerns, and relationships. Effective stakeholder management often determines project success more than technical execution, making this document essential for navigating organizational complexity. ## When to Use - At the start of a new project or initiative to map the landscape - When taking over an existing project from another PM - Before major decision points that require cross-functional buy-in - When experiencing resistance or misalignment mid-project - During organizational changes that shift stakeholder dynamics - When preparing communication strategies for launches or changes ## When NOT to Use - You need the async update you will SEND to stakeholders -> use `foundation-stakeholder-update`; this skill maps them, that one talks to them - You are preparing for one specific high-stakes meeting -> use `foundation-meeting-brief` - You need customer research synthesis rather than an influence map -> use `discover-interview-synthesis` - You want a persona to design or market against -> use `foundation-persona` ## Instructions When asked to create a stakeholder summary, follow these steps: 1. **Identify All Stakeholders** List everyone with a stake in the project: sponsors, approvers, contributors, consumers of the output, and those aff...

foundation-stakeholder-update

Produces async communication to stakeholders, primarily non-attendees and secondarily some attendees who want a reference. Translates meeting outcomes into what-it-means language for readers, with channel variants (slack, teams, email, notion, exec-memo) and audience variants (engineering, design, leadership, customer-facing, mixed). Surfaces a primary CTA up front, flags technical-to-business translations for user verification, and detects thread continuation from prior updates.

foundation-stakeholder-briefings

Turns any source artifact (spec, discovery, research, GTM plan, experiment results, retro, or raw notes) into one canonical master document plus a set of audience-tailored briefings, each re-pitched to a stakeholder lens (executive, board, engineering, UX, PMM, sales, CS, legal, data, or a custom audience). Every briefing is a traceable projection of the master, so the versions never disagree. Use when one piece of work must reach several audiences who each need a different framing, decision, and level of detail.

stakeholder-map

Maps stakeholders onto an influence/interest grid, captures each one's stance, motivations, and decision power, and derives a per-person engagement plan with a RACI overlay. Use when you say "who do I need to get on board," "map my stakeholders," "build a power/interest grid," "figure out who's blocking this," "who decides vs. who's just informed," or "I keep getting surprised by the same exec."
