The stakeholder management plan can be formal or informal, highly detailed or broadly framed, based on the needs of the project. In addition to the data gathered in the stakeholder register, the stakeholder management plan often provides: Desired and current engagement levels of key stakeholders; Scope and impact of change to stakeholders; identified interrelationships and potential overlap between stakeholders; Stakeholder communication requirements for the current project phase; Information to be distributed to stakeholders, including language, format, content, and level of detail; Reason for the distribution of that information and the expected impact to stakeholder engagement; Time frame and frequency for the distribution of required information to stakeholders; and Method for updating and refining the stakeholder management plan as the project progresses and develops. Project managers should be aware of the sensitive nature of the stakeholder management plan and take appropriate precautions.
