Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 340

After sending an on-site meeting invitation to seven people for the kick-off meeting of a project, a key stakeholder declines because they will be at another location for the rest of the month.

What should the project manager do?

Answer options

• A. Change the kick-off meeting to a virtual meeting so all can attend at the same time.
• B. Hold the kick-off meeting with the rest of the stakeholders to avoid a delay in the project.
• C. Reschedule the kick-off meeting for the following month so all can attend on-site.
• D. Make arrangements for the stakeholder to join the kick-off meeting virtually.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because it allows the key stakeholder to participate in the meeting despite their absence. Option A is incorrect as it does not specifically address the stakeholder's situation. Option B is not ideal since it excludes a key participant, and Option C delays the project unnecessarily.
