stakeholder-discovery

Overview

Stakeholder-discovery is the process of mapping the "organizational ecosystem" to ensure you have the necessary alignment and safety to proceed. It distinguishes between those who have opinions and those who have "veto power," ensuring that critical relationships are cultivated early.
