Explanation / Answer

Ans. 9 Absolutely TRUE, a theory ensures that the business objectives are in line with the pre-decided goals and objectives of the organization and all stakeholders agree to the stated goals, also it plays a major role in the successful implementation of desired ideas to achieve goals.

Ans. 10 A. is the correct answer, as an organization we have to definitely think and honor the interests of the stakeholders and should give them adequate priority, having said that we need to acknowledge the fact that in a project of longer duration the demands and requirements of stakeholders may vary as per the business decisions and hence priority should be given but it should also be seen as that their interest may vary with time.

Ans. 11 Government regulatory agencies are external stakeholders and are not a key internal stakeholder. Program employees and project manager are key internal stakeholders as they are the people at the helm of affairs and are very closely integrated with the project.

Project teams and managers are the people who actually do the entire work; also sponsors have invested their money and are concerned about the progress and end results of the project.
