Build a Stakeholder Map in 15 Minutes
Turn a messy list of names and roles into a structured stakeholder map, communication plan, and outreach messages. No spreadsheet required.
Every PM, consultant, and white-collar professional builds stakeholder maps manually. You open a doc, start typing names, and two hours later you have a chart nobody reads. Let's use Claude to do the thinking. You bring the context, Claude builds the structure.
Open Claude.ai and give it your project context
Go to claude.ai (or open the Claude desktop app). You're going to have a conversation, not run a command. Start by telling Claude what you're working on.
Paste your stakeholder list (messy is fine)
Don't worry about formatting. Paste emails, org chart screenshots, LinkedIn titles, whatever you have. Claude will make sense of it.
Ask for a communication plan
Now turn the map into a practical weekly plan covering what to say, to whom, and through which channel.
Draft an outreach message for a key stakeholder
Pick any stakeholder you haven't connected with yet. Ask Claude to draft the first message.
Export as markdown for Notion or Confluence
Ask Claude to package everything into a clean document you can paste into your team's tool.
Tell someone what you built
Pre-filled post, ready to go. Edit it before you post.
