Free PMI Project Management Professional Practice Question

After identifying and categorizing stakeholders, the project manager should develop a stakeholder engagement strategy that outlines the specific approaches and methods for engaging each stakeholder category. This strategy should be based on the stakeholders' level of interest, power, influence, and impact on the project. The strategy should then be executed consistently throughout the project, with regular validation to ensure its effectiveness. Merely communicating with stakeholders or assigning them responsibilities without a clear strategy may lead to inconsistent or ineffective engagement. Skipping directly to execution without developing a strategy first can result in a lack of direction and alignment in stakeholder engagement efforts.
