Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) — Question 324

The project manager needs to manage a critical issue immediately, and this requires action from the upper management of a specific stakeholder group. Which plan should the project manager consult?

Answer options

• A. Risk management plan
• B. Communications management plan
• C. Change management plan
• D. Stakeholder engagement plan

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as the Communications management plan outlines how to effectively communicate with stakeholders, especially in urgent situations. The Risk management plan focuses on identifying and mitigating risks, while the Change management plan deals with changes in project scope or objectives, and the Stakeholder engagement plan outlines how to engage and manage stakeholders, but does not specifically address immediate communication needs.
