Simple Stakeholder Map for Jira
Simple Stakeholder Map helps you identify key people around your Jira project, plan communication, and improve engagement without leaving Jira.
What you can do
- Plot stakeholders on a Power vs Interest matrix to prioritize attention
- Organize outreach work in a Communication Command Center
- Compare current vs desired engagement with SEAM analysis
- Keep project data scoped in Jira with no extra database setup
- Work from a project page app that adapts to the current Jira project context
How the app is organized
You use three connected areas:
- Stakeholder Map: Visual grid for influence and interest
- Communication Tasks: Plan and track follow-ups
- Engagement Review: SEAM gap analysis and progress checks
Core concepts
Power vs Interest
Each stakeholder is positioned by:
- Power: Ability to influence project outcomes
- Interest: Level of involvement or concern
This creates four practical strategy zones:
- Manage closely (high power, high interest)
- Keep satisfied (high power, low interest)
- Keep informed (low power, high interest)
- Monitor (low power, low interest)
SEAM (Stakeholder Engagement Assessment Matrix)
SEAM helps you compare how engaged a stakeholder is now vs where you need them to be.
Levels used by the app:
| Level | Description |
|---|---|
| Unaware | Doesn’t know about the project |
| Resistant | Aware but opposed to the project |
| Neutral | Aware but neither supportive nor opposed |
| Supportive | Understands and supports the project |
| Leading | Actively champions the project |
Who this app is for
- Project managers and delivery leads
- Product owners and program managers
- Teams that need stakeholder clarity in Jira projects
- New team members onboarding into project governance
