Stakeholder map: Visualize and manage deal stakeholders in Room Analytics

Written by Joice

Use Stakeholder map in Room Analytics to map the buying committee, assign roles, and track coverage for multi-threaded deals. Add stakeholders from existing Room visitors or add them manually when you need to expand the committee. Keep stakeholder context in one place with activity and notes per person. Aligned also migrates existing identified visitors into the map so you start with real engagement data.

Troubleshooting & Error States

I can’t add a stakeholder with the same email.

Use a different email address. Aligned blocks duplicate stakeholders with the same email.

I can’t find a visitor in the Stakeholder map search.

Invite the stakeholder with an email address. Aligned excludes anonymous visitors from Stakeholder map search.

I deleted a stakeholder card and the person still appears in visitors.

We keep the stakeholder in visitors so you can add them very quickly next time. Aligned deletes only the Stakeholder map card.

I duplicated a Room and the Stakeholder map looks empty.

Add stakeholders again. Aligned starts duplicated Rooms with a clean Stakeholder map.

I updated a buyer role name in the account swettings and it changed on every card

Aligned updates that role across all stakeholder cards.

Pro-Tips

  • Assign roles on cards during deal reviews so the team can spot missing coverage fast.

  • Filter by Not visited the room to identify stakeholders who need a direct nudge or a tailored section in the Room.
