‫Now that we've gone over the points of communication within this project and defining who will stakeholder
‫should be.
‫We're going to step into an activity.
‫This activity will allow you to walk through and pinpoint who your stakeholders are based on the inputs
‫and outputs of your project. Using the stakeholder identification handle
‫think about your current or most recent project you've been involved in.
‫With the activity, you want to think about which teams or people have any inputs or say so for your
‫project.
‫And then think about who again, your project is impacting, whether if it's directly or indirectly.
‫Let's move on.
‫You can download the handout and we'll start with step one related to direct inputs.
‫Identify who has that direct input for this particular project.
‫Step two involves identifying those who have an indirect input or say so on your project.
‫Step three.
‫This is where we start focusing on the outputs from the people, teams, assets, clients and resources
‫from steps one and two.
‫You will create multiple outputs for the direct and indirect inputs while reviewing your inputs and
‫outputs.
‫You should now start to see more of a two way flow.
‫The diagram is representing the inbound and outbound aspect of your project stakeholders.
‫This diagram involves everything you need to understand the final step, which is that four identifying
‫your indirect and direct impacts for this activity.
‫Think of the impact as a forcible contact.
‫So an example of a direct impact could be two departments which normally do not work together, forced
‫to combine teams or work together on this proposed project.
‫An example of an indirect impact could be departments not working together for the proposed project,
‫but one department made dependent upon another for data.
‫So download the handout and work on this either by yourself or if you're taking this course with a colleague.
‫Maybe this is something that you can pull someone in and have a conversation about.
