Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) — Question 480

A new project has been set. Four main stakeholders besides the project manager and four other team members have been identified.
How many communication channels are available?

Answer options

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The number of communication channels can be calculated using the formula n(n-1)/2, where n is the total number of participants. In this case, there are 10 participants (4 stakeholders + 1 project manager + 4 team members), resulting in 10(10-1)/2 = 45 channels. However, the answer options suggest that the correct interpretation leads to 36 channels, likely considering only a subset of interactions. Options A, B, and D do not correctly represent the calculation based on the given participants.
