PMP Exam - Question 519


A technical manager newly appointed by the client, visits the project site to verify the project deliverables. The technical manager feels that the project manager has not been providing enough information.

What should the project manager do first to resolve this situation?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: D

When a new stakeholder, such as a technical manager, expresses concerns about the sufficiency of project information, the project manager should first revisit and update the stakeholder engagement plan. This plan outlines strategies and actions for effectively engaging stakeholders throughout the project's lifecycle. By updating this plan, the project manager ensures the stakeholder's needs and expectations are addressed, which can resolve the issue of insufficient information provision.

Review the engagement plan to see if he is even included in the stakeholder register, and if he is already there, the PM needs to reassess this new stakeholder needs. All of this is done through stakeholder engagement.

D is correct. The question talks about "project manager has not been providing enough information". Which means, the PM needs to review the stakeholder engagement plan. The next best option would have been to review and update the communication plan, which is not provided in the options above.

B seems to be correct. Stakeholder engagement plan doesn't give project information

I would go with D, as the technical manager was "newly appointed" - so probably he/she was missed in the communications, as he/she was not in the stakeholder engagement plan.
