Question 12

The stakeholder register is a convenient tool to keep

Accepted Answer

The stakeholder register is designed to consolidate all stakeholder information in one place, making it easy to keep the information up-to-date and readily accessible. It allows project managers to identify the stakeholders, their interests, and how they can be impacted by a project, thus helping them to develop strategies to engage and manage stakeholders. It is not designed to keep stakeholders at a distance or necessarily to keep all communications open to all stakeholders, although those may be benefits of using the stakeholder register. Finally, while the stakeholder register can help in capturing lessons learned, it is not designed solely for that purpose.

Question 18

Accepted Answer

When a stakeholder expresses concern about a project, it is important for the project team to address the concern directly with the stakeholder. Ignoring the concern or sharing it with all stakeholders without first addressing it with the concerned party can lead to further misunderstandings and potentially damage the project's reputation. A personal conversation or meeting with the stakeholder can help clarify the situation and find a solution that meets everyone's needs. A mass e-mail to all stakeholders may not effectively address the specific concern and could cause confusion or unnecessary concern among others.
