Suggested Answer: A 🗳️
A salience model defines and charts stakeholders' power, urgency, and legitimacy in the project.
The salience model is a technique for categorizing stakeholders according to their importance. The various difficulties faced by the project managers are as follows:
✑ How to choose the right stakeholders?
✑ How to prioritize competing claims of the stakeholders communication needs?
Stakeholder salience is determined by the evaluation of their power, legitimacy and urgency in the organization.
✑ Power is defined as the ability of the stakeholder to impose their will.
✑ Urgency is the need for immediate action.
✑ Legitimacy shows the stakeholders participation is appropriate or not.
The model allows the project manager to decide the relative salience of a particular stakeholder.
