Explanation

The stakeholder analysis plan (or stakeholder register/analysis) is a critical input to the information distribution process because it defines who the stakeholders are, their communication preferences, their level of interest and influence, and how they should be engaged. Without knowing the stakeholder landscape in detail, you cannot effectively distribute information to 121 stakeholders. Change requests and performance reports are outputs or inputs to other processes (like integrated change control or performance reporting). Earned value management results are monitoring outputs. The stakeholder analysis plan bridges the gap between 'how to communicate' (communications management plan) and 'to whom and in what way' (stakeholder analysis).
