Compared to project-level stakeholder management, program-level stakeholder engagement is generally MORE complex primarily because:
- APrograms have fewer external stakeholders than projects
- BProgram stakeholders share identical interests across the components
- CPrograms typically involve a broader, more diverse, and often more senior set of stakeholders whose interests may vary or conflict across multiple components✓
- DProgram stakeholders do not need to be identified individually, since the complete set is automatically known once the program charter has been signed by the sponsor
Answer: Programs typically involve a wider, more senior, and more diverse stakeholder base whose interests can vary or conflict across components, which is why program-level engagement is generally more complex than project-level stakeholder management.
Which activity in program stakeholder engagement involves assessing each stakeholder's level of influence, interest, and attitude toward the program?
- AStakeholder engagement execution
- BStakeholder analysis✓
- CBenefits transition

Answer: Stakeholder analysis is the activity that examines influence, interest, and attitude to inform how engagement should be planned. Engagement execution acts on that analysis, and the other options belong to different domains.

- AComparing a stakeholder's current level of engagement, such as resistant or neutral, against the desired level, such as supportive, to plan targeted engagement actions✓
- BRecording the technical specifications of each component's deliverable
- CCalculating the program's earned value, schedule variance and cost performance index
- DAssigning work packages to component teams, and recording which team is responsible for each of the deliverables
Answer: The engagement assessment matrix compares a stakeholder's current engagement level against the desired level, helping the program manager plan targeted actions to close that gap.
