Functional-dynamic stakeholder involvement - td-net toolbox profile 18 Krütli, P. 2021

This approach helps to specify the functional (related to the goal of the respective project step) as well as dynamic (related to the type of participation in the respective project step) involvement of stakeholders.

The functional-dynamic approach specifies which stakeholders are to be involved in a td-project and why, when, regarding what aspects and how. The stakeholder involvement finally is visualized in a diagram, listing the intensity of involvement (inform, consult, collaborate) of different stakeholders along a timeline of process steps.
