Correct Answer: C

Section: Volume C
Explanation:
13.1.2.1 Stakeholder Analysis
Stakeholder analysis is a technique of systematically gathering and analyzing quantitative and qualitative information to determine whose interests should be taken into account throughout the project. It identifies the interests, expectations, and influence of the stakeholders and relates them to the purpose of the project. It also helps to identify stakeholder relationships (with the project and with other stakeholders) that can be leveraged to build coalitions and potential partnerships to enhance the project's chance of success, along with stakeholder relationships that need to be influenced differently at different stages of the project or phase.
Stakeholder analysis generally follows the steps described below:
Identify all potential project stakeholders and relevant information, such as their roles, departments,

interests, knowledge, expectations, and influence levels. Key stakeholders are usually easy to identify. They include anyone in a decision-making or management role who is impacted by the project outcome, such as the sponsor, the project manager, and the primary customer. Identifying other stakeholders is usually done by interviewing identified stakeholders and expanding the list until all potential stakeholders are included.
Analyze the potential impact or support each stakeholder could generate, and classify them so as to define

an approach strategy. In large stakeholder communities, it is important to prioritize the stakeholders to ensure the efficient use of effort to communicate and manage their expectations.
Assess how key stakeholders are likely to react or respond in various situations, in order to plan how to

influence them to enhance their support and mitigate potential negative impacts.
There are multiple classification models used for stakeholders analysis, such as:
Power/interest grid, grouping the stakeholders based on their level of authority ("power") and their level or

concern ("interest") regarding the project outcomes;
Power/influence grid, grouping the stakeholders based on their level of authority ("power") and their active

involvement ("influence") in the project;
Influence/impact grid, grouping the stakeholders based on their active involvement ("influence") in the project

and their ability to effect changes to the project's planning or execution ("impact"); and Salience model, describing classes of stakeholders based on their power (ability to impose their will),

urgency (need for immediate attention), and legitimacy (their involvement is appropriate).

Within project integration management, the statement of work (SOW) references which aspects of the project?

• A.Strategic plan, business need, and product scope description
• B.Contract, enterprise environmental factors, and organizational process assets
• C.Business plan, project management plan, and project schedule
• D.Product lifecycle, business objective, and management strategy

Correct Answer: A

Section: Volume E
Explanation:
4.1.1.1 Project Statement of Work Page 67
The project statement of work (SOW) is a narrative description of products, services, or results to be delivered by a project. For internal projects, the project initiator or sponsor provides the statement of work based on business needs, product, or service requirements. For external projects, the statement of work can be received from the customer as part of a bid document, (e.g., a request for proposal, request for information, or request for bid) or as part of a contract. The SOW references the following:
Business need. An organization's business need may be based on a market demand, technological

advance, legal requirement, government regulation, or environmental consideration. Typically, the business need and the cost-benefit analysis are contained in the business case to justify the project.
Product scope description. The product scope description documents the characteristics of the product,

service, or results that the project will be undertaken to create. The description should also document the relationship between the products, services, or results being created and the business need that the project will address.
Strategic plan. The strategic plan documents the organization's strategic vision, goals, and objectives and

may contain a high-level mission statement. All projects should be aligned with their organization's strategic plan. Strategic plan alignment ensures that each project contributes to the overall objectives of the organization.
