PMP Practice Question 1176 - People
A government approved the construction of a river dam to enable year-round farming in a community. At the project kickoff meeting, a key stakeholder in the community disagrees with the location of the dam. What should the project manager do first?
- ✓ Correct A.Review the stakeholder engagement plan to confirm that all key stakeholders were consulted.
- B.Explain to the key stakeholder that final approval has already been obtained.
- C.Meet with the key stakeholder to review the stakeholder engagement plan.
- D.Schedule a meeting with all stakeholders to discuss the view of this key stakeholder.
Correct answer: A
Explanation
When a key stakeholder disagrees with the dam location at the kickoff meeting, the project manager should first review the stakeholder engagement plan to confirm all key stakeholders were consulted. Verifying the engagement process identifies whether the concern stems from inadequate consultation. Explaining that final approval was obtained (B) is dismissive. Meeting the stakeholder to review the engagement plan (C) assumes the plan is complete. Scheduling a meeting with all stakeholders (D) is premature without verification.
