Project Management for Development (PMD) Pro Level 1 Practice Test

Identifying who will be affected by the project and evaluating their influence and interest is stakeholder analysis. This involves mapping out all stakeholders, assessing how much power they have to affect the project and how invested they are in the outcomes, and using that understanding to plan appropriate engagement and communication. The Power/Interest grid is a common technique used within this broader process to categorize stakeholders by their level of power and interest and decide how to approach each group. The risk register, on the other hand, documents risks and responses, not stakeholders. The Theory of Change outlines how activities are expected to lead to outcomes and impact, not who is involved. So stakeholder analysis best fits the description.
