Description: The Involvement Matrix is a fundamental tool in project management that allows for the evaluation and classification of the level of involvement of stakeholders in a project. Its main objective is to identify who the key actors are, their degree of influence, and their interest in the project, which facilitates the planning of communication strategies and management of expectations. This matrix is typically presented in the form of a grid, where two axes are crossed: the level of interest of stakeholders and their power or influence over the project. By categorizing stakeholders into different groups, such as ‘high influence and high interest’ or ‘low influence and low interest’, project managers can prioritize their communication efforts and ensure that the most critical stakeholders are adequately informed and engaged. The Involvement Matrix not only helps mitigate risks associated with a lack of stakeholder support but also promotes more effective collaboration, ensuring that project decisions align with the expectations and needs of all involved.
