Certification of Capability in Business Analysis (CCBA) — Question 359
Barry is a project stakeholder that is excited about the deliverable your project wants to create for the organization. He's helpful, provides information, and offers support whenever your project needs it. How would you classify Barry based on this information?
Answer options
- A. Positive stakeholder
- B. Cheerleader
- C. Project sponsor
- D. Project team member
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Barry's supportive and enthusiastic behavior indicates that he is a Positive stakeholder, as he is engaged and contributes positively to the project. While he may exhibit characteristics of a Cheerleader, the term specifically refers to someone who promotes enthusiasm rather than actively participating in project support. He does not hold the formal role of a Project sponsor or Project team member, which are more defined positions within a project structure.
