C is not correct here. Documentation may be informative, but it relies solely on theoretical explanation. Personalized discussions help translate advantages into practical concerns and opportunities for this specific project. Option A aligns with PMI’s guidelines by actively involving stakeholders in the change process, addressing concerns directly, and building a foundation for successful implementation of the new tools.

Given the scenario where the project manager has identified an opportunity to use the new iterative tools but faces resistance or concern from a senior manager, the first step the project manager should take is to build awareness and trust around the new framework. A. Organize individual sessions with the stakeholders to build awareness and trust in the new framework. By organizing individual sessions with stakeholders, especially those expressing concerns, the project manager can provide clarity, answer questions, and directly address any misconceptions or fears about the new approach. This proactive measure can help in fostering understanding and buy-in from key stakeholders.

First should be C "Send documentation to the senior manager about the advantages of the new framework", it is immediate thing with low manpower and high possible outcome. Than you should meet with stakeholders A. "Organize individual sessions with the stakeholders to build awareness and trust in the new framework", where you will deeply analyze the stakeholder and may be other stakeholders concern. Based on the results of the meeting you can go to B "Look for external training on the new framework to eliminate the risk of low engagement from stakeholders"

When implementing a new framework, it is common for some stakeholders to have concerns or resistance to change. The project manager should take proactive steps to address these concerns and build support for the new framework. The first step the project manager should take is to organize individual sessions with the stakeholders to build awareness and trust in the new framework, option A. This will allow the project manager to address any concerns or questions stakeholders may have and provide an opportunity to build trust and buy-in for the new framework. The project manager should also emphasize the benefits of using the new framework, such as improved collaboration, faster feedback loops, and increased adaptability to changing requirements.

I think its C actually. The problem isn't with "all stakeholders" its with that one particular manager, and the fact that you have documentation on it means the company has probably done it before in some aspect, just need to get the new guy a bit more confidence.
