3. Develop a communication plan with frequency, channel, and content for each group.
4. Provide strategies for addressing concerns and managing difficult conversations.

• Flag any assumptions about stakeholder preferences.
• Stay focused on communication, not overall stakeholder management.

Example Project Name: "Office Relocation", Stakeholder Types: "Employees, executives, external vendors", Specific Issue: "Timeline changes", Communication Channels: "Email, town hall, intranet"
