Selected Answer: C

To reduce the chances of having strong rejection from stakeholders during the project initiation stage, the project manager should consider option C, which is to schedule meetings with key stakeholders in advance to gather feedback on the project scope. By involving key stakeholders early in the project planning process, the project manager can gather feedback on the project scope and gain a better understanding of stakeholder expectations. This can help the project manager identify potential issues and concerns before they become major problems.

C. Schedule meetings with key stakeholders in advance to gather feedback on the project scope. To reduce the chances of having a strong rejection from stakeholders during the project initiation stage, the project manager should schedule meetings with key stakeholders in advance to gather feedback on the project scope. This will give stakeholders the opportunity to provide input and raise any concerns they may have about the project, including the specific task that the project manager believes would be out of schedule.

Selected Answer: C

Voting for C. There is no Stakeholder by Stakeholder engagement matrix as such. There can only be a stakeholder engagement matrix. Also Stakeholder engagement matrix is to be updated based on stake holder need of informations/reports. In this case it would be apt to say that discuss with stakeholders align on scope well in advance.
