Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) — Question 280

A project is in the planning phase and ready for plan review and approval when a sponsor switch happens. What should the next course of action be?

Answer options

• A. Plan Communications Management
• B. Perform Qualitative Risk Analysis
• C. Plan Stakeholder Engagement
• D. Perform Integrated Change Control

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct course of action is to Plan Stakeholder Engagement, as a change in sponsor may affect stakeholder interests and requires reassessment of their engagement strategies. The other options, while important, do not address the immediate need to align with the new sponsor's expectations and involvement in the project.
