Exam PMP topic 1 question 926 discussion

When a key stakeholder like the business lead is unavailable, the best course of action is to engage a delegate who can represent them in meetings, provide insights, and ensure continuity in decision-making. By doing this, the project manager: Maintains momentum in execution Ensures that business input is available early in the process Respects the business lead’s schedule while still involving the business function appropriately Delegation is a common and effective practice in project management when key roles are temporarily unavailable.

A. Ask a delegate from the business lead to communicate and handle the transition work

This is A

We don't want delays in communication. So no need to overthink. This is a completely reasonable thing to do in the real world. A. Ask a delegate from the business lead to communicate and handle the transition work. Explanation: Having a delegate from the business lead ensures that the project can proceed without significant delays. The delegate can communicate important information and handle the transition work, ensuring that the project manager still gets the necessary input and support from the business perspective.

Work with a delegate would be the best option.

B since the lead can read it later if he cannot join in person.

I think A is correct. B: What is changed? If there is a change, try communicate with business lead directly instead of sending an email. The business lead may be late for reading your email. A: If the business lead is so busy in onother big project. He could delegate to other like Project Owner for communicating and handling the work with team.\

In this situation, where the business lead cannot join the project meeting due to engagement in another big project, the project manager should opt for effective communication. Summarizing the changes and potential user impact in an email and sending it to the business lead allows for documentation and clarity. Option A (asking a delegate to handle the transition work) might be suitable if the business lead has someone who can act on their behalf, but it should be done in coordination with the business lead.

I thought B would be more appropriate answer to this question?
