ITPEC FE Morning April 2018 Question 53
ITPEC FE Morning April 2018 — Question 53 of 80
Project Stakeholder Definition — identifying who qualifies as a stakeholder per PMBOK
A project stakeholder is any individual, group, or organization that may affect, be affected by, or perceive itself to be affected by a decision, activity, or outcome of a project (answer b).
The key distinction is the breadth of this definition — it includes not just active participants but anyone who perceives an impact.
Why not the others:
- •a) describes a project sponsor — provides resources and is accountable for success
- •c) describes a PMO (Project Management Office) — standardizes governance and shares methodologies
- •d) describes a project manager — assigned to lead the team toward project objectives
Key rule: Stakeholder = anyone with a real or perceived interest in the project. The word "perceive" in the definition is the giveaway — sponsors, PMs, and PMOs are all stakeholders, but the definition of stakeholder is the broadest one.
