Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

Beth, the project manager, is responsible for communication with all stakeholders. According to the

center of the interactions between stakeholders and the project itself.

Answer option B is incorrect. Sarah may help with the communications, but she is not responsible

for the communications.

communicating with the project

stakeholders.

D, definitely. Beth's the project manager, so she's the one who should be communicating with everyone. Unless she's secretly a superhero who can clone herself into eight different people, haha.

I'm going with D. Beth, because she's the one who's been told to keep the project sponsor informed. No way I'm going to argue with the boss!

Hmm, I'm not sure. Is it possible for each team leader to be responsible for their own stakeholders? Wouldn't that be more efficient?
