PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) — Question 200

When considering impact on a project, to whom should an agile project manager give top priority on the stakeholder list?

Answer options

• A. The stakeholder who can prevent the project from delivering within budget
• B. The stakeholder who can prevent the project from achieving its goals
• C. The stakeholder who can delay the project
• D. The stakeholder who can work as a friend and help prepare the stakeholder list

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because the stakeholder who can prevent the project from achieving its goals has the most significant impact on the project's success. While the other stakeholders have their own levels of influence, not achieving the project's goals ultimately renders the project unsuccessful, regardless of budget or timelines.
