Hello Josh,
Understanding project stakeholders is a crucial success factor, knowing their preferences and background is even more important, it's pretty much like playing chess, if you understand the style of the stakeholder you can easily anticipate their needs and even their future actions, building a project management plan that barely includes names, designations, contacts, etc. is not enough.

I have written about stakeholder analysis and communication management in general in this post: http://kareemshaker.com/communication/communica...

I also have modeled a communication management plan in my preferred mind mapping tool Xmind.

Thanks Josh.

There was an article in the IJPM a few years ago that added a third dimension to this model: legitimacy. This gives you seven main categories of stakeholders. As well, it is useful to remember that a stakeholder's category may change during the course of the project: stakeholder analysis needs to be a ongoing process that is integrated with everything else you do.

Important as well to remember that most stakeholders cannot actually be managed. What you are actually doing is managing stakeholder relationships. And that is the name of the first unit in the GAPPS project manager standard:
