I usually make sure to have combined stakeholder meetings for project to review obligations and dependency and be prompt in calling out and tracking any issues/risks/gaps. Have seperate deep dive meetings in a small setting to understand any issues, impact and have measurable and actionable next steps to achieve the goal. Escalate to higher management if there are any conflicts that couldn't be resolved at my level.

Meetings, communication channels, RACI graph, documentation

Project Document - add information about the stakeholders. Add RACI chart into the plan covering the roles of all the stakeholders about the responsibility, accountability, consulted, informed
Recurring meeting  - Depending on the influence and criticality of a stakeholder I setup meetings with different cadence to track the obligations and ask for timely inputs through variuos communication channels like email, group messaging, 1:1 meetings, standups etc
Escalating - if there is impact on the project delivery
