Program Management Professional (PgMP) — Question 85

You are the program manager for your program and are creating a communications management plan. Management wants you to address the type of communications based on the number of communication channels you'll have within the program. Currently there are 345 stakeholders in your program but next week you'll have 387 stakeholders. How many more communication channels will you have next week in your program?

Answer options

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The number of communication channels in a project can be calculated using the formula n(n-1)/2, where n is the number of stakeholders. With 387 stakeholders, the number of channels increases to 15,351 compared to 345 stakeholders, making option B the correct answer. The other options do not reflect the correct calculation based on the increase in stakeholders.
