    PMP Exam 7

    Question 90 of 200 Question ID: 625024

    It comes to the attention of the project manager that some of the vendor's representatives do not receive project
    communications as specified in the project management plan.

    What might have caused this issue?

    A There is no issue; vendors are not supposed to receive project communications

    B Neglecting to include vendors in the communications management plan

    C Neglecting to consider who should contribute to specific project documents in the creation of the stakeholder
    register

    D Failing to review the agreements as part of the Identify Stakeholders process

    J Question answered incorrectly

    Hint:
    The project manager must fulfill their contractual obligations.

    Correct Answer: D

    Explanation:

    If the vendors were not captured in the stakeholder register as part of the Identify Stakeholders process, the result could
    be missed communications. The agreements serve as an input to the Identify Stakeholders process since the parties to
    an agreement are stakeholders by definition. If the project team failed to review the agreements when the stakeholder
    register was created, the result could be an incomplete stakeholder register. Those stakeholders that were not recorded
    in the stakeholder register are not likely to receive project communications. Of the available choices, the most likely
    cause of the issue described by the question is the project team's failure to review the agreements as part of the Identify
    Stakeholders process.

    Details for Each Option:

    A There is no issue; vendors are not supposed to receive project communications


    Incorrect. Vendors are project stakeholders. The decision on whether or not to include them in project
    communications is made during project planning and is documented in the communications management plan (a
    component of the project management plan). According to the scenario, the project management plan specifies
    that the vendors should receive project communications, making this choice an incorrect answer.

    B

    Online Courses plan
    - PMP Exam Simulator

    Incorrect. The question indicates that the project management plan specifies the vendors to include in project
    communications, implying the communications management plan, which is a component of the project
    management plan, has been properly developed.

    C Neglecting to consider who should contribute to specific project documents in the creation of the stakeholder
    register
    Incorrect. An incomplete stakeholder register might cause stakeholders to be left out of project communications.
    The project documents that typically contribute to the creation of the stakeholder register include issue log, change
    log, and requirements documentation. However, these documents are not unique to the project's vendors to
    explain why some of their representatives are not receiving project communications.

    D Failing to review the agreements as part of the Identify Stakeholders process


    Correct. If the project team was unable to review the agreements when the stakeholder register was created, the
    result could be an incomplete stakeholder register. Those stakeholders that were not recorded in the stakeholder
    register are not likely to receive project communications.
