What two dimensions are typically used to map stakeholders in a stakeholder analysis?

• A. Location and department.
• B. Influence (power) and interest (stake).
• C. Education level and tenure.
• D. Age and role.

Answer: (C)

Mapping stakeholders uses two key dimensions: how much influence they have over the project and how strongly they care about its outcomes. This combination helps you prioritize engagement: those with high power and high interest need active, ongoing management; high power with low interest should be kept satisfied; high interest with low power should be kept informed and involved where possible; and low power with low interest can be monitored with minimal effort. The other pairings—like education level and tenure, or location and department—don’t reliably indicate a person’s ability to affect decisions or their level of concern about the project, so they’re not as useful for guiding how you engage stakeholders.
