What problem does it solve? Starting a project without structured stakeholder interviews means designing on assumptions about business goals, success metrics, and internal politics. This Skill provides a complete NN/g-grounded method for identifying stakeholders, interviewing them 1:1, mapping power and interest, and producing a communication plan before any design work begins. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Stakeholder identification and mapping: Builds a checklist-driven stakeholder list and places each person on a Mendelow power-interest matrix with a champion/supporter/critic attitude overlay. - Five-block discussion guide: Covers role context, business goals, success metrics and definitions of failure, user assumptions (logged as hypotheses), and political context, with question-bias linting guidance. - Deliverables: Produces a findings summary with goal conflicts, a private power-interest map, and a shareable per-stakeholder communication plan with channel and cadence. - Use Case: A freelancer kicking off a discovery engagement for a clinic's online booking system interviews the owner, office manager, and lead therapist, surfaces a goal conflict over manual booking overrides, and converts the high-interest critic into a co-design participant. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to plan and run stakeholder interviews for your new client engagement, including who to interview, a discussion guide, and a power-interest map.
