Assessment exam answers (Chapter 13)

Question 1

You are working with your stakeholders to determine what information needs to be updated weekly. One of your key stakeholders, Joan, asked to be kept up to date on any surprises that occur on the project that result in a negative impact. Which of the following documents is Joan asking to see weekly?

  1. Stakeholder register
  2. Risk management plan
  3. Issue log
  4. Assumption log

The issue log documents any unknown/unknown events that can cause problems on the project. It is a large part of good communication with your stakeholders who may be affected by issues or need to manage them.

Question 2

Which of the following documents can help you plan for stakeholder engagement on the seller side of the project?

  1. Agreements
  2. SOW
  3. RFP
  4. Procurement plan

All of these are seemingly good answers, but until the sellers become contractually bound to the project, they are not actual stakeholders.
