PMP Practice Question 1913 - People
A key project stakeholder does not attend any of the project meetings and is providing false information that the project team is not delivering on time. What should the project manager do to address this situation?
- A.Share the meeting recordings with the key stakeholder.
- B.Email the latest status report to the key stakeholder.
- ✓ Correct C.Discuss communication needs with the key stakeholder.
- D.Create a new communication artifact for the key stakeholder.
Correct answer: C
Explanation
When a key stakeholder is not attending meetings and spreading false information about the team's delivery performance, the project manager should discuss communication needs with the key stakeholder. Understanding why the stakeholder is disengaged and what communication preferences they have allows the PM to build trust, correct misinformation, and ensure they receive accurate, timely project updates. Sharing meeting recordings (A), emailing status reports (B), or creating new communication artifacts (D) may not address the root cause of the stakeholder's disengagement and misinformation.
