Exam CAPM topic 1 question 270 discussion

Key phrases: "Manage Stakeholder Engagement" thus look for stakeholder related option thus B.

Why not the others? A. The project must be of high quality → This affects scope and quality management, not directly stakeholder engagement complexity. C. The project must comply with strict local government regulations → This increases regulatory or compliance complexity, not stakeholder engagement complexity directly. D. The project has a tight budget and timeline → This impacts cost and schedule management, not the engagement process complexity per se.

B. The stakeholders are from different countries. Managing stakeholders from different countries or diverse cultural backgrounds can significantly increase the complexity of the Manage Stakeholder Engagement process. Cultural differences can lead to variations in communication styles, expectations, and perspectives, making it more challenging to effectively engage and manage stakeholders. It may require additional efforts such as cross-cultural communication training, localization of project materials, and sensitivity to cultural norms and preferences. While the other options (A. The project must be of high quality, C. The project must comply with strict local government regulations, D. The project has a tight budget and timeline) can add complexity to a project in their own right, they are not directly related to the complexity of managing stakeholder engagement based on cultural diversity.
