Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 794
A project manager is in charge of a software development project. A key stakeholder complains that they never received the functionality test status reports. The project manager provides the reports, and the stakeholder notices that an important functionality for their area was not tested.
Which tool should the project manager have used to prevent this situation?
Answer options
- A. Issue log
- B. Project scope statement
- C. Stakeholder register
- D. Project charter
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is C, the Stakeholder register, as it helps identify and manage stakeholder expectations and requirements, ensuring all relevant functionalities are tested. The other options, while important, do not specifically address stakeholder communication and management in the same focused manner, which led to the oversight in testing the required functionality.
