I disagree. I think the project manager should go with option D and invite the key stakeholder to the project's change control board to discuss adjustment of the project strategy.

B) Asking the project sponsor to step in is a bold move. Gotta love a little office politics to spice things up! Just don't get caught in the crossfire.

C) Proceeding with a working session for the other teams seems like a sneaky way to sideline the key stakeholder. Not very constructive in the long run.

D) Inviting the key stakeholder to the CCB is a great way to address the issue formally and get everyone on the same page. Hopefully they don't try to 'exert their authority' like a playground bully.
