Tools and Techniques in Manage Stakeholders Engagement process are: • Expert Judgement • Communications Skills (Feedback) • Interpersonal and Team skills (Cultural awareness, Negotiation, Observation Conversation, Political Awareness, Conflict Management) • Ground Rules • Meetings

it's B

D. Communication skills and cultural awareness To capture stakeholder interest, a project manager can use communication skills and cultural awareness. Understanding how to effectively communicate with stakeholders and being aware of cultural differences are crucial for building positive relationships and ensuring that the project's goals align with stakeholder expectations. While other options may be relevant in stakeholder management, the combination of communication skills and cultural awareness is specifically focused on engaging stakeholders effectively. The project manager may also use tools such as the stakeholder register to review and understand stakeholder information, but the act of capturing stakeholder interest involves effective communication and cultural sensitivity.

How I understood the question is that the PM is meeting new stakeholders and he wants to get them interested in the project (capture stakeholder interest). So he's not there to gather data but he is there to influence them to support the project/get them interested. So for this communication skills and cultural awareness would be correct

In my opinion it's correct answer is C

However, now that I am thinking on this, if he is MEETING with the stakeholders, he can't just NOT communicate with them. This is specifically asking about the meeting itself, so I guess this is where the communication skills would come in. I think this is a cheap question, to be honest.

To me, if this is a new project, it would be in the Plan Stakeholder Engagement process (Planning Process Step), and TT's utilized are 1. Expert Judgment, 2. Data Gathering, 3. Data Analysis and 4. Data Representation and 5. Meetings. C. should be the answer.

I think this is correct

D. Communication skills and cultural awareness

I think C. The PM is PREPARING which means plan. Nothing is being executed yet. Plan Stakeholder Engagement: Data Analysis and Data gathering

C - data gathering and analysis

D. Communication skills and cultural awareness.

Capturing stakeholder interest to means capturing data regarding the engagement, part of Monitor Stakeholder Engagement, which has Communication Skills and Data Analysis as T&Ts. The way I read this is they are trying to determine how engaged these stakeholders are.

According to Joseph Phillips course on Udemy. C is the most correct answer according to the ITTO plan stockholder engagement

I have doubts, its a new project and I think they are referring to plan stakeholder engagement. In that case data gathering and analisys will be the correct one. Plan Stakeholders Engagement = process of developing approaches to involve project stakeholder based on their interests
