What is stakeholder engagement matrix?

Stakeholder Engagement Matrix is a project management tool that helps systematize and visualize the level of involvement and interaction with stakeholders (interested parties).

The matrix typically reflects who among the stakeholders requires what level of communication and participation: from informing to active engagement and decision-making. This helps plan communications and manage expectations to ensure project support and minimize risks.

An example of a matrix structure:

Stakeholder	Interests	Influence	Level of Engagement	Interaction Strategy
Client	High	High	Active participation	Regular meetings, reports
Team	Medium	Medium	Informing	Weekly updates

This approach helps efficiently allocate resources for communication and maintain the necessary level of interaction with each project participant.
