Explanation

With a project spanning 5,000+ locations globally, the BA first needs to know who the right people are before gathering any requirements. A stakeholder analysis identifies all relevant individuals and groups, their roles, their level of influence, their interest in the project, and their ability to provide requirements. It answers 'who should I talk to and why?' A RACI chart (A) defines responsibilities but assumes stakeholders are already known. User stories (B) are written after stakeholders are identified. The stakeholder analysis is always the starting point for scoping engagement on large, complex projects.
