Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 81

A project manager is leading a multiyear project that involves internal and external stakeholders. As the project manager begins to gather requirements, additional business stakeholders express interest in being involved.
Which three actions should the project manager take to ensure proper stakeholder involvement? (Choose three.)

Answer options

• A. Prioritize stakeholders based on the project phase and need
• B. Perform a stakeholder assessment to align with the project objectives
• C. Classify and rank stakeholders based on their positions in the organization
• D. Include all stakeholders in the stakeholder engagement plan and provide the same level of communication
• E. Develop a stakeholder impact/influence matrix to determine the level of engagement

Correct answer: A, B, E

Explanation

The correct actions are A, B, and E because they focus on prioritizing stakeholders, aligning their interests with project objectives, and assessing their influence, which are crucial for effective engagement. Option C, while useful, does not directly address the alignment with project needs or objectives. Option D is not advisable as it may overwhelm stakeholders with uniform communication rather than tailored engagement based on their influence and interest.
