Exam PMP topic 1 question 1070 discussion

C. Stakeholder register

my answer is c

All of the problems were that stakeholders were not accurately identified, communications were not defined, and therefore testfile reports were not properly provided. To fundamentally solve this, we need to identify stakeholders and check their register.

A stakeholder register is a tool used to identify, analyze, and document stakeholder interests, needs, and expectations. It helps project managers ensure that stakeholders receive the necessary information and that their needs are met. In this scenario, the project manager should have used a stakeholder register to: - Identify the key stakeholder's interest in the functionality test status reports - Document their requirements and expectations - Ensure that they receive the necessary reports and information By using a stakeholder register, the project manager could have prevented the situation and ensured that the stakeholder received the necessary information in a timely manner.

" A key stakeholder complains that they never received" For me, the PM has lost the Key Stakeholder

Where is the quality management plan in these answer option? It is very strange not include the correct answer, but only add option with speculation. Additional they want to know a tool, but listing only artifacts?

The issue started from the stakeholder register

B The project scope statement is a critical tool that outlines the project's deliverables and the work required to complete those deliverables. It should include details about the functionalities that need to be developed and tested. By referring to and regularly updating the project scope statement, the project manager can ensure that all key functionalities are accounted for and that stakeholders are aware of what is included in the project's scope. This helps in maintaining transparency and alignment with stakeholder expectations throughout the project.

stakeholder register would have helped the project manager keep track of the specific needs and expectations of each stakeholder, including their requirements for functionality test status reports.

The project scope statement outlines the deliverables and the acceptance criteria for the project. It defines what functionalities should be included in the project and guides the testing efforts to ensure that all required functionalities are tested. By referring to the project scope statement, the project manager can ensure that all necessary functionalities are identified and included in the testing process, thereby preventing situations where important functionalities are overlooked during testing. While the stakeholder register (C) contains important information about stakeholders' roles, interests, and communication needs, it typically does not specify the detailed requirements or functionalities of the project. The stakeholder register helps in identifying stakeholders who need to be engaged and communicated with throughout the project but may not directly address the specific functionalities to be tested.

respuesta C

To prevent the situation where a key stakeholder was unaware of the status of functionality tests, the project manager should have effectively used: C. Stakeholder Register: This tool is crucial in managing communications with stakeholders. A stakeholder register includes information about all stakeholders, their interests, their influence on the project, and their communication requirements. By referring to this register, the project manager could have ensured that all key stakeholders, including the one who complained, were regularly updated with the necessary reports, such as functionality test status. This would have ensured that the stakeholder was aware of which functionalities were being tested and which were not. Project Scope Statement: The project scope statement outlines what is and is not included in the project. While it's important for defining the boundaries of the project and the deliverables, it doesn't specifically address communication with stakeholders about ongoing activities like testing.

I agree with B

The project scope statement defines the project's scope, major deliverables, assumptions, and constraints. It provides a detailed description of the project's objectives, deliverables, acceptance criteria, and the product scope. In the context of a software development project, the project scope statement would outline the functionalities and features that are within the project's scope. The stakeholder register is a document that includes information about project stakeholders, their interests, expectations, and their level of influence on the project. While the stakeholder register is essential for understanding stakeholder communication needs and engagement levels, it might not be the most appropriate tool to prevent the situation described in the scenario. In summary, the project scope statement is a more direct and relevant tool for preventing the situation where a key functionality is missed during testing.

I think the correct answer should be B
