What two factors must the business analyst consider when conducting stakeholder analysis?

Influence measures a stakeholder's ability to impact project outcomes, decisions, or resources, while attitude reflects whether they are supportive, neutral, or resistant. Combining these two dimensions allows the business analyst to prioritize engagement efforts and tailor communication approaches for each stakeholder appropriately.

Position describes organizational hierarchy and politics is not a defined primary dimension in formal stakeholder analysis frameworks, making this pairing incorrect.

While influence is a correct factor, politics is not a defined analytical dimension in stakeholder analysis methodology and should not replace attitude.

While attitude is a correct factor, position describes a stakeholder's organizational role rather than their capacity to impact or be impacted by the project, making it the wrong pairing.
