QuestionQ293

Project Management Concepts

A project team is developing an application to assign a building’s parking spaces. The building owner disagrees with using corporate colors in the application and has prevented release of the beta version for testing. Which option BEST describes what the project manager should have done during the initiation phase to avoid this issue?

  • A Review of existing artifacts
  • B Development of an issue log
  • C Identification and assessment of stakeholders
  • D Establishment of accepted communication channels
Explanation

Stakeholder identification and assessment during project initiation determines who can affect the project, their expectations, and their level of influence. The building owner’s objection to the application’s corporate colors should therefore have been identified and addressed before a release could be blocked. PMI describes early stakeholder identification as necessary to understand stakeholders’ positions, expectations, and potential influence on project success.
