PMO-CP Stakeholder Practice Questions

During a session on stakeholder engagement, the PMO team is discussing how to collect and prioritize stakeholder benefit expectations to guide their strategy. The team debates the best approach to ensure that stakeholder needs are effectively addressed without compromising the PMO's alignment with organizational goals. When collecting stakeholders' benefits expectations, what should the PMO do?

• AA. Classify stakeholders into groups based on their level of relevance and influence, prioritizing those whose expectations are most critical to the PMO's success
• BB. Ask stakeholders to identify which functions they believe the PMO should perform, based on their personal or departmental benefit expectations
• CC. Make it clear that the PMO's primary commitment is to the organization as a whole, not just to individual stakeholder interests, ensuring alignment with broader objectives
• DD. Ensure that all stakeholders have the same benefits expectations, so that there is alignment across the organization

A PMO is evaluating its stakeholder base to better align its functions. While some argue that everyone impacted by the PMO qualifies as a stakeholder, others believe stakeholders should be defined more narrowly. Who qualifies as a PMO stakeholder?

• AA. Anyone who is directly or indirectly affected by PMO activities
• BB. All employees working within the organization's departments
• CC. Stakeholders who directly use and benefit from PMO functions
• DD. Only senior executives who oversee project and portfolio decisions
