Actual exam question for BCS's BAPv5 exam
Question #: 21
Topic #: 3
[All BAPv5 Questions]

End users in one business area are unwilling to adopt a new finance management system (recently introduced by the innovation team), as they perceive that it is unnecessarily complicated and not useful. One of the end users in this business area has been very vocal and has been relying support from others since posting about it on the company's intranet homepage.

The introduction finance system was initially supported by senior managers, but now users in other business area are also beginning to question whether they adopt the tool and are raising the issue with their managers.

The sponsor fully supports the decision to go ahead with the now tool and has made il very cleat to senior managers that he expects them to support this Initiative.

Which stakeholder management strategy SHOULD be taken with the senior managers?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

The stakeholder management strategy for senior managers should be constant active management. Senior managers have high power and high interest in the project, as they are responsible for overseeing its implementation and ensuring its alignment with organizational goals. They also have influence over other stakeholders, such as end users and employees. Therefore, they need to be regularly engaged, consulted, informed, and involved in decision making throughout the project lifecycle. Option B is the correct answer.

Hmm, I'm torn between B and D. Maybe a mix of constant active management and keeping them informed would work best. Gotta keep those senior managers happy, you know?

I think D. Keep informed is the best approach. No need to micromanage them, just keep them in the loop on the progress and any issues that arise.
