Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 1149

A project manager for a construction site realizes the importance of stakeholder relations, especially with the local community. The project manager and the project team strive to build effective relationships with these key stakeholders in order to prevent obstacles in the future.

What should the project manager do to customize the stakeholder engagement plan?

Answer options

• A. Assess the need to collaborate with the community.
• B. Analyze the need to negotiate with the community.
• C. Assess the information requirements of the community.
• D. Analyze stakeholder diversity in the community.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because understanding the information needs of the community is essential for effective engagement and communication. Options A and B focus on collaboration and negotiation, which are important but secondary to understanding what information stakeholders require. Option D, while relevant, does not directly address the customization of the engagement plan as effectively as option C does.
