CAPM Practice Question

The primary purpose of identifying stakeholders early in a project is to analyze their interests, influence, and expectations. This analysis is fundamental for defining their roles, clarifying responsibilities, and planning effective engagement strategies to ensure project success. While activities like creating communication lists, confirming budget resources, or sending meeting invitations are part of project management, they are outcomes or secondary tasks derived from the primary analysis of who the stakeholders are and what their stake in the project is.
