Exam PMP topic 1 question 235 discussion

A as everything else is wrong :)

A. Evaluate the communication needs to discover the gaps and adjust the original plan if needed

For exam purposes, the answer is A which is to check to see if there are gaps in communication and adjust the original plan if need be. However, in real life, I'd be lying if I don't go ahead to show the project sponsor that all is well and good on my end as regards the communication plan and subtly chip in that the said stakeholder hasn't been attending meetings but oh well.....lol

A. Evaluate the communication needs to discover the gaps and adjust the original plan if needed

question itself points out that particular stakeholder who claim slippage is not even show's Up. So question is against a well tracked project on which an absentee stakeholder claims under performing . so my answer is D

The first step the project manager should take is to evaluate the communication needs to determine whether there are any gaps or misunderstandings in the current plan. The project manager should then adjust the plan if needed to ensure that the key stakeholder is receiving the necessary information and has a clear understanding of the project's status. It may be necessary to schedule additional meetings with the key stakeholder or to provide them with more frequent updates. Ultimately, the goal should be to address the stakeholder's concerns and maintain a positive relationship with them.

didn't the question say "The project manager has been providing the project's status according to the agreed-upon communications management plan?" Would there be gaps here then?
