Application
Stakeholder relevance changes across the lifecycle. This is an initial map, not a final list or fixed judgement. Use it to build support and prepare the stakeholder engagement plan, communications management plan and overall programme management plan, then transfer the controlled details into the stakeholder register and keep them current.
Completion discipline
Complete the document from current evidence, name its owner and approving authority, and link the plans, registers or decisions that support it. Retain approved versions and review the document whenever a material assumption, dependency, requirement or governance decision changes.
