A newly appointed country manager suggests that the regional program manager use a social media platform to expedite communications and address questions.
The new country manager used this social media platform at a previous job.
What should the regional program manager do to address the country manager's request?

Answer options

• A. Suggest that the country manager use the existing communication channels while the team becomes familiar with the new social media platform.
• B. Ask the country manager to champion the social media platform, as they may have more influence than the regional program manager.
• C. Review existing in-house social media capabilities to determine if they will meet the needs of the country manager's request, and update the stakeholder register.
• D. Ask the technology, security, and project teams to assess the country manager's request.

Correct answer: D
