From gpt: To resolve the issue, the project manager should: A: Foster stakeholder engagement:** This improves communication and helps clarify differing perceptions and expectations. C: Share and clarify project objectives:** Ensures that all parties understand the project goals and expected outcomes, aligning their expectations. Why not D: Insist on face-to-face meetings in order to understand the real concerns: While face-to-face meetings can be valuable, insisting on them might not be practical in a geographically distributed organization. The key is to ensure effective communication through whatever means are most feasible.

The project manager should ensure that the objectives are well understood by employees and heads of departments.

Options B, D, and E may also be relevant in certain contexts, but the most immediate and direct actions to address the issue are fostering stakeholder engagement and sharing project objectives. Engaging with the project sponsor (Option B) can be part of a broader strategy for resolving issues and gaining support. Face-to-face meetings (Option D) can facilitate better understanding, but they may not be practical in all situations. Proceeding as planned without addressing the issue (Option E) can lead to misunderstandings and potentially impact the project's success.

A. Actively engaging stakeholders is essential to improve communication and align perceptions. This involves regular and open communication with various stakeholders to understand their concerns, expectations, and perspectives on the project. This engagement helps in building a shared understanding and addressing any misconceptions or differences in perception. C. Clearly communicating and sharing the project objectives with all stakeholders is crucial. This ensures that everyone has a common understanding of the project's goals, scope, and expected outcomes. Misalignments in perceptions often arise when stakeholders have different interpretations of the project's purpose and objectives. By transparently sharing this information, the project manager can work towards creating a unified vision among stakeholders.
