Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 1136

A project manager who is new to an organization is given data that include information related to both project team members and stakeholders. Among other items, this information includes each stakeholder’s current role, previous and current projects in which they participated, and their level of organizational influence.

In what type of analysis should the project manager use this information?

Answer options

• A. Qualitative risk analysis
• B. Regression analysis
• C. Stakeholder analysis
• D. Decision tree analysis

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Stakeholder analysis, as it involves assessing the roles, influence, and past involvement of stakeholders to better manage their expectations and contributions to the project. The other options, such as qualitative risk analysis and regression analysis, do not focus on stakeholder interactions, while decision tree analysis is used for decision-making rather than stakeholder evaluation.
