Question 1 A project is entering initiation, and the project manager wants to prevent late surprises from people who can influence requirements, approvals, or adoption. What should the project manager do?
Answer choices
- A. Engage stakeholders proactively during initiation and planning, for the stated business environment requirement.
- B. Stop communicating until the next formal milestone, for the stated scenario.
- C. Send every stakeholder the same detailed report, under the stated decision criteria.
- D. Remove concerned stakeholders from future conversations, for evaluation.
Correct answer
Engage stakeholders proactively during initiation and planning, for the stated business environment requirement.
Stakeholders should be identified and engaged during initiation and planning so expectations, influence, and concerns can shape the project approach early.
Wrong-answer review
- B. Stop communicating until the next formal milestone, for the stated scenario.: Waiting for a later milestone can allow concerns to surface too late for effective planning.
- C. Send every stakeholder the same detailed report, under the stated decision criteria.: A generic detailed report does not replace proactive engagement with the right stakeholders.
- D. Remove concerned stakeholders from future conversations, for evaluation.: Removing concerned stakeholders increases the chance of missed requirements, resistance, or approval delays.
Extra learning features
Why candidates miss this
Delaying communication until a formal milestone suggests a desire to avoid potentially difficult conversations or feedback. This overlooks the critical need for proactive stakeholder engagement during initiation and planning. The Project Management Body of Knowledge emphasizes that early and continuous communication builds consensus and manages expectations, preventing later surprises. Likely wrong answer: Stop communicating until the next formal milestone Review focus: Stakeholder Engagement
Why this matters
This matters because PMP candidates must connect the scenario to Business Environment practices (PMP-domain3) instead of applying a nearby but different project management action.

- D. Remove the issue from project records, for the described technical objective and its associated operational control requirements, under the documented operational and governance requirements.
