Exam CAPM topic 1 question 249 discussion

For small projects with simple relationships among stakeholders, the prioritization method is the most suitable. Here's why: Prioritization is a straightforward technique used to rank stakeholders based on their relative importance to the project. It is especially useful when the number of stakeholders is limited and the relationships are not complex. Other models, such as the Power/Influence Grid or Salience Model, are more detailed and better suited for larger, more complex projects where stakeholder influence and interest vary significantly and need nuanced analysis.

A. Prioritization For small projects with simple relationships among stakeholders, a straightforward method for categorizing stakeholders is prioritization. This method involves identifying and categorizing stakeholders based on their level of importance or influence on the project. It doesn't require complex models or detailed analyses, making it suitable for smaller, less complex projects where relationships and interactions are relatively straightforward. Stakeholders can be categorized as high-priority, medium-priority, or low-priority based on their significance to the project's success.

The "Directions of Influence" method involves categorizing stakeholders based on their level of support or opposition to the project and their degree of influence. This approach is simpler and more straightforward than some of the more complex stakeholder categorization methods like the Salience model or the Power/Influence grid, making it well-suited for small projects with fewer stakeholders and less intricate relationships. It helps project managers identify stakeholders who can affect the project and how they are likely to do so.

Answer is A.

Prioritization is simpler than P/I grid.
