GCP Professional Cloud Architect Practice Question
Your organization's Cloud Center of Excellence (CCoE) has identified four stakeholder groups for an 18-month migration to Google Cloud: executive sponsors, security & compliance officers, application owners, and finance controllers. As the lead cloud architect, you must keep these groups engaged, reduce resistance, and secure ongoing sponsorship throughout the program. Which action should you perform first to establish effective influence and facilitation among the stakeholders?
Facilitate a workshop to build a RACI matrix that defines responsibility, accountability, consultation, and information flow for each migration workstream.
Schedule monthly steering-committee meetings chaired by the CIO to review project status and approve budget changes.
Publish a communication plan that details message frequency, channels, and audience personas for every phase of the migration.
Create an executive dashboard that highlights migration KPIs and share it with all stakeholder groups on a weekly cadence.
The architect should begin by clarifying how each stakeholder group will participate in key decisions and day-to-day work. A RACI (Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, Informed) workshop explicitly assigns decision authority and accountability, setting expectations before detailed planning starts. Without this clarity, later communication plans, executive dashboards, or steering committees will lack an agreed-upon governance structure and can fail to resolve conflicts. Therefore, establishing a RACI matrix is the appropriate first step, while the other options are valuable follow-ups once roles and responsibilities are defined.
