The new project sponsor should have been engaged early and key aspects of the project explained in granular detail to avoid misalignment.

Selected Answer: A
Typically, project sponsors do not participate in iteration reviews. There was no reason for the project manager to involve the sponsor in the review. Instead, if a proper stakeholder analysis had been conducted, it would have been possible to understand what the sponsor is interested in and how to communicate with them effectively.

Although I'm not sure how A can solve the issue, D isn't very correct either. If it is an agile project and the sponsor has power to reject the artifacts, it's really weird to assume s/he didn't attend iteration review meetings.

whether its predictive or agile stakeholder engagement is important so according to me A is the most appropriate answer as sponsor is replaced and the question says he was not previously engaged so without engaging him how can one call for iteration review so answer A is the correct one.

The "Stakeholder analysis" is gathering information to determine whose interests should be taken into account. I still don't understand how it could've helped avoid the situation.

I chose D. But after read the correct answer and question. the question focuses on preventing this situation from happening in the future, rather than finding a solution to the current problem. With this mindset, "A. Performed a stakeholder analysis when the sponsor joined the project" is indeed worth considering.

This is not a predictive approach so stakeholder analysis is not needed. The question says it’s an incremental approach so the project sponsor should have attended review. Making D the correct answer.

D. New sponsor needs to be brought up to speed to get aligned. Stakeholder analysis was done. Only new sponsor has misalignment. D is the best way to handle this.
