===================================================================
ANSWERS.

2. D.
This may have looked hard, but it was not so difficult to reason out.
The issue log is the primary output of manage stakeholder engagement, so
it could not also be a tool. A, B, and C are all tools used in that
process
3. A. The stakeholder register is a list of the stakeholders with their assessment and classification as it relates to the project
4. A.
This one should have been easy given the topic of the quiz, but you may
well see questions like this on the PMP Exam. While all of the
elements are important, stakeholder satisfaction is the most important
5. B.
The term stakeholder is very broad and generally includes quite a few
groups. However, someone who creates a need is ambiguous enough to not
fit well within this list. There will always be people who create needs
or problems on your project, and that does not automatically qualify
them as a stakeholder.
6. C. Stakeholder needs
are to be ranked from greatest to least. This is key for determining
project priorities. “A” would be wonderful, but it is not realistic to
think that every need a stakeholder raises will be addressed by the
project. ”B” is not a bad answer, but by the time they are identified,
they are essentially qualified as stakeholders. ”D” may sound like a
good answer, but the stakeholder management plan is created before the
stakeholders have been identified.
7. D. The
five states of stakeholder engagement are Unaware, Resistant, Neutral,
Supportive, and Leading. “Participating” might seem to make sense, but
it is not a classification since the project manager does not typically
need to measure the engagement of team members participating on the
project.
8. C. The stakeholder engagement matrix plots the current and desired levels of engagement by stakeholders.
9. B.
If you missed this one, don’t feel bad. It is best to identify
stakeholders early, but the key to getting it right is the word “all”.
Many of them may not emerge until late in the project.
10. B.
WPI and WPD show up in Control Stakeholder Engagement. Remember that
work performance data is raw, while work performance information has
been analyzed and made more useful. “A” has no grounding in reality at
all, and “C” and “D” are opposite of the truth
