Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 223

During the development of a product, the project manager observes conflicts between project stakeholders, resulting in deliverable and output approval delays.
On which area should the project manager focus?

Answer options

• A. Revisiting the project management plan to ensure deliverables are on time
• B. Increasing the frequency of project update meetings to keep stakeholders informed
• C. Revisiting the stakeholder engagement plan, focusing on specific overlooked stakeholders
• D. Reviewing the business case and identifying gaps within scope

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as focusing on the stakeholder engagement plan allows the project manager to address the specific stakeholders who may have been overlooked, potentially resolving conflicts. Options A and B do not directly address the root cause of the conflicts, and option D is not relevant as it pertains to scope rather than stakeholder engagement.
