Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 323

A project manager is leading a small project with a low budget and a short, tight schedule. Many of the stakeholders are within the organization and have varying levels of interest.

Which approach should the project manager use with the stakeholders?

Answer options

• A. Provide daily reports to maximize stakeholder communication.
• B. Minimize communication until project completion as it will be finished quickly.
• C. Share all relevant project information with the stakeholders.
• D. Schedule one-on-one meetings with stakeholders to provide project updates.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because sharing all relevant project information helps ensure that stakeholders are informed and engaged, which is crucial for project success. Option A may overwhelm stakeholders with information, while B neglects the need for communication, and D, while effective, may not be practical given the diverse interests and the project's tight schedule.
