Suggested Answer:A🗳️
A salience model uses three values to classify 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. Incorrect Answers: B: This is a description of an influence/impact grid over the project. C: This is a description of a power/impact over the project. D: This is a description of a power/interest grid.
Per PMBOK:
uSalience model. Describes classes of stakeholders based on assessments of their power (level of authority or
ability to influence the outcomes of the project), urgency (need for immediate attention, either time-constrained
or relating to the stakeholders’ high stake in the outcome), and legitimacy (their involvement is appropriate).
There is an adaptation of the salience model that substitutes proximity for legitimacy (applying to the team and
measuring their level of involvement with the work of the project). The salience model is useful for large complex
communities of stakeholders or where there are complex networks of relationships within the community. It is
also useful in determining the relative importance of the identified stakeholders.
