Selected Answer: A

PMBOK 6th edition always mentions a community of stakeholders instead of individuals. Therefore answer A is correct.

Answer A. The union doesn't equal the entire community plus we don't know the impact/power of these stakeholders

How could you give high level high power to someone who is not spending any money to your project? D is absolutely wrong. If they delete the high level high power, then it could be right.

Selected Answer: A

The answer should be A. Community questions should be addressed first to the community. And "trade unions" like China's exist only in the legend of the organization, praying God is more useful than trade unions.

The project manager should identify all stakeholders, including the local community, and build communication channels to provide accurate information about the project's objectives, timelines, and potential impact. By doing so, the project manager can address any concerns the local community may have and manage their expectations.

The community just needs to be kept informed, so À is perfect.

Selected Answer: D

D is correct. Do you remember the communication chapter? Adding just the local union rep is easier to manage than having communications with the entire local community.

The question is about the "necessary actions to engage stakeholders" not the point of contact. Also, it is clear the local community is already identified in the stakeholders matrix thats why the project manager is trying to list the actions of engagement. Please, let me know what you think?

Answer is D: PM is acting to engage stakeholders. So the best way to get their support is include them in the group.

There is nothing to do with high-power, high-impact stakeholder group. So the given answer seems right.
