Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) — Question 486

Stakeholder identification and engagement should begin during what phrase of the project?

Answer options

• A. After the project management plan is completed
• B. After the stakeholder engagement plan is completed
• C. As soon as the project charter has been approved
• D. After the communications management plan is completed

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because stakeholder identification and engagement should commence as soon as the project charter is approved to ensure that all relevant parties are involved from the start. Options A, B, and D are incorrect as they suggest starting engagement after other planning documents are completed, which can lead to missed opportunities for input and support.
