Selected Answer: D
D is correct. I think you need to make sure everyone is on board with the objectives before you involve the legal team at all. A statement of work is typically formed before the contract review, and that seems to be what they're looking for here.

Selected Answer: D
Before the project starts, the project manager should ensure that the requirements for the project are understood and that the objectives are verified before approving the agreement with the supplier. This will ensure that the procurement process aligns with the project's goals and requirements, and that the project can be executed efficiently and effectively once the supplier has been sourced. The project manager may also collaborate with the procurement team to ensure that any legal or contractual considerations are taken into account during the procurement process.

PM has to work first with stakeholders to ascertain objectives and requirements of the project are clear and are verified, then the agreement has be inline with it. Once that is done, legal team review the agreement and ensure all legal terms are well understood and the company interest is protected under the agreement. D for me is correct.

From the given answers, D seems to be correct. Agree PM will need to work with stakeholders, but why should the PM starts with negotiation on the agreement without even understanding the requirements?
