In this project, who is the lead person responsible for communication with all stakeholders?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

Beth, the project manager, is responsible for communication with all stakeholders. According to the

PMBOK, the project manager occupies the

center of the interactions between stakeholders and the project itself.

Answer option B is incorrect. Sarah may help with the communications, but she is not responsible

for the communications.

Answer option A is incorrect. Thomas, the project sponsor, just needs to be kept abreast of the

information.

Answer option C is incorrect. The project team leaders for the virtual sites are not responsible for

communicating with the project

stakeholders.
