I was about to go with the 80/20 rule and say 20% are difficult while 80% are not. But I may have to select 30% are difficult and 70% are not. Saving Changes...
I guess if you have 20 - 30 are difficult then it is almost 100% difficult. It should be at the most 2 - 3 persons that would make 1 or 2 % Pareto rules should not be considered here because with 20% it will make a real big mess. Usually there is one Arseh..e

Riyadh, I have yet to find a project where less than 20% of stakeholders cause issues or are difficult to deal with. Maybe I'm just unlucky ;-)
I'd say it is proportional to the magnitude of the change impacts to stakeholders. If the impacts are low or are all favorable, outside of the occasional troublemaker the percentage should be very low.
On the other hand, if the project is perceived to negatively impact one or more stakeholder groups, the percentage could be quite high.

Yes Kiron, it's definitely proportional to the project's criticality.

Kiron, I agree with you statement.
I would add this, if it is perceive to impact negatively a single stakeholder, individual or group, that has big influence on other stakeholders your project is at risk, the % would climb high.
It depends on the getion of stakeholders that you do, without a doubt, by not integrating them and not managing the changes properly, you will definitely have to raise your percentage.

Ruben, yes it would be a sliding scale largely dependent on our capacity to effectively manage stakeholders. Sometimes even despite its effectiveness, we still get difficult stakeholders.
