Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 904

In an advanced stage of a project, a stakeholder who is not receiving the project status report communicates this to the project manager. After checking, the project manager determines that the person is registered as a stakeholder but was not included in the communications management plan.

What should the project manager do next?

Answer options

• A. Update the communications management plan to include the missed stakeholder, and send the current project status documentation to this stakeholder.
• B. Ask the stakeholder to get the project status report from another stakeholder listed in the communications management plan.
• C. Inform the project sponsor that there are stakeholders who are not included in the communications management plan.
• D. Inform the stakeholder that the project team cannot provide information to anyone who is not registered in the project's communications management plan.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because it directly addresses the oversight by updating the communications management plan and ensuring the stakeholder receives the necessary information. Option B is incorrect as it does not rectify the situation. Option C, while informative, does not solve the immediate issue, and D is not appropriate as it dismisses the stakeholder's right to information despite their registration.
