CyberSecurity Training Program Stakeholder Analysis

 

I created this stakeholder analysis for a cyber program developed for a middle school. It's very important to discover "who cares" about training programs, then plan and design accordingly.

 Additional Questions:  

·         How many students will attend the program? (Is there a cap on the number who can attend)

·         How and when will students begin to sign-up?

·         How are parents being informed about the program? I’m assuming we will need parent/guardian permission as well.

·         How much demand is there for this program? Can we ask parents, teachers, and students about their interest in supporting/attending this program? 

·         Where will the program be implemented? I’ve heard it may be in the library, but I need to verify.

·         Will snacks be allowed in the room? If so, who will purchase the snacks?

·         Will IT support be available to help ensure proper configuration of laptops and to address technical issues? We need to discuss what type of laptops will be used (e.g. Chromebook, HP) and plan for “work-arounds” if needed

·         Will teaching assistants be appointed? Need for assistants will depend on the # of students. These don’t necessarily have to be “teachers”, they need to be individuals able to facilitate groups, explain instructions, assist with assignments, etc.

·         Who will pay for the MTASF certification?  Parents? 

·         Are teachers required to attend the program? Will teachers only be from North Stafford? How many teachers will or can attend?

·         Who is paying for the Practice-Labs required for the program?

·         Is there a program budget to purchase and print materials (e.g. nametags, posters, tools)?

·         Are students required to complete homework associated with the program?

·         Is the expectation that all students will achieve a certification?

·         What are other expectations of this program? What does the principal expect? The teachers? The students? The parents? Other stakeholders?
