projectdoc Toolbox
A party that takes interest in a project. The stakeholder is either a real person, an organization or group, or represents a class of individuals, groups or organizations.
Description
A stakeholder is a mapping of a person to a set of roles the person takes in a given project. A stakeholder may also reference an organisation (or group), naming a person as representative for this organization (or group).
If you do not add a reference to a person document, the stakeholder document refers to a class of individuals, groups or organization.
Properties
The document type stakeholder provides the following properties:
Please note that only information about specific properties is provided here. Common document property used by all document types are documented by Document Properties.
Personal Information
This is the reference to the stakeholders personal information, usually in form of a person document.
If the stakeholder is an organization or group, the referenced person document contains information on the representative of that group.
If there is no person referenced, the stakeholder refers to a class of individuals, groups, or organizations.
Organization
A reference to the organization this stakeholder is working for. The information provided by the organization document provides defaults for this stakeholder.
Roles
The roles the stakeholder takes in this project.
Address Information
The following address information is usually copied from the person document.
- Phone
- Fax
- Website
- Street
- Address 2
- Code
- Place of Residence
- Country
The property Postal Address copies the information parts above in a readable summary.
The Personal Information property may refer to an organization, if you change the doctype parameter of the Name List Macro. But note that you also have to change the doctype parameter of the referring Display Document Property Ref Macros, to transclude the address information. You may also clear the doctype parameter in which case you refer to the value referenced in Personal Information as the title of a document. This is not recommended since the view should always refer to the name, not the title. The title may have some technical suffix due to the uniqueness constraint defined by the wiki space.
It is typically recommended to define an artificial representative for an organization and use this document for reference.
Contact
Reference the preferred communication with this stakeholder.
The value may reference one or more addresses and may contains additional text (such as "only in office on Mondays").
This property is available since version 2.1.
Image URL
The URL to an image. May be a plain URL or a link that points to an image.
Typically the URL is used to fetch the image and render it using the Display Document Property As Image Macro.
Sections
Responsibilities
The responsibilities of the stakeholder that are not already specified with her roles. This information is project-specific.
Concerns
Describe the concerns of the stakeholder and the relevance for the project.
Since version 5.0. Prior to version 5.0 this information has been added to the description section, but this makes it difficult to list concerns separately from other information.
Analysis
The information in this section is used to run a stakeholder analysis.
This section and its subsections are available since version 6.2.0 and requires the projectdoc Toolbox with version 1.16 and up.
Chart
Define the ratings for power and interest in the project of the stakeholder.
Interest Rating
Define a rating for the interest of the stakeholder to make the project a success or failure.
Power Rating
Define a rating for the power of the stakeholder to make the project a success or failure.
Stakeholder Rating
The rating is derived from the values of the Interest Rating and the Power Rating.
Goals
Describe the specific goals of the stakeholder according to this project.
Interest
Describe the interest of the stakeholder according to this project.
Power
Describe the power of the stakeholder to influence this project.
Team Members
These are stakeholder subdocuments. If there are such documents, the stakeholders are organized in teams and stakeholders that reference team members are team leads.
If the stakeholder references an organization or group of people, this may refer to suborganizations or members of the organization or group.
Notes
These are internal notes that are usually not exported and only visible to team members with write access.
But this is not a safe place to store sensible information. It is just a convenience for the reader to not be bothered with notes stored here for the authors for later use. The security level is about suppressing the representation by a CSS style. Therefore consider this as a convenience for the reader, not as a security tool.
The text of notes sections is also indexed.
References
For a document the references section contains pointers to resources that prove the statements of the document.
Often these proofs are not easily distinguishable from further information. In this case you may want to skip the reference section in favour for the resource list.
For further information please refer to References and Resources.
Resources
The resources section provides references to further information to the topic of the document.
This may be information on the internet provided by the resource or information in the team's information systems. Anything the reader of the resource might want to know, may be listed here.
For further information please refer to References and Resources.
Details
Title Encoding
Spaces are limited such that there can only be one page with a given title. Documents with stakeholder information may collide with person documents with the same name. Therefore Stakeholders prepend the at symbol ('@
') in front of the name.
You may check the box on the wizard to create a new stakeholder document to care for this conventional encoding.
Available since version 1.10.
