People and Stakeholders Practice Question

Question

A supervisor reviews a case with a trainee for the PMP Project Management Professional involving stakeholder engagement in People and Stakeholders. What should the candidate understand? (Item 41)

Answer choices

1. A. The best answer is to select the response that protects project value, uses appropriate tailoring, engages stakeholders, and follows ethical project management practice for the stakeholder engagement scenario.
2. B. Rely on informal custom instead of the applicable rule, control, or standard.
3. C. Skip verification because the previous case had the same answer.
4. D. Document nothing because documentation could create follow-up questions.

Correct Answer

A. The best answer is to select the response that protects project value, uses appropriate tailoring, engages stakeholders, and follows ethical project management practice for the stakeholder engagement scenario.

Explanation

The correct answer is A because stakeholder engagement is tested by asking candidates to select the response that protects project value, uses appropriate tailoring, engages stakeholders, and follows ethical project management practice. The distractors reflect common exam mistakes: ignoring context, using informal shortcuts, skipping verification, or applying a rule from the wrong domain.
