Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 982

A project manager implementing a hybrid project is dealing with multiple stakeholders in a rapidly changing business environment. How should the project manager ensure that the needs of stakeholders are consistently met?

Answer options

• A. Add more iterative techniques to improve stakeholder learning.
• B. Use iterative life cycles involving stakeholders to enable the team to improve the product end result through successive prototypes.
• C. Identify all the critical stakeholders during project initiation.
• D. Assign one team member to one stakeholder to ensure that the responsible team member is conversant with the needs of the stakeholder.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because using iterative life cycles allows for ongoing collaboration with stakeholders, providing opportunities to refine the product based on feedback. While option A suggests improving learning, it does not directly address stakeholder involvement. Option C is important but does not ensure consistent engagement, and option D may lead to limited understanding of broader stakeholder needs.
