Question

Options

• AProvide separate electricians' rooms so they can focus on their work.

Explanation

Option C is correct because in project management frameworks (particularly PRINCE2), the Business Ambassador is the stakeholder representative who understands the user/business environment - making them the right person to clarify where electrical sockets should be located, since that's a business/user requirement decision, not a technical one. The Project Manager's role is to facilitate communication between the team and stakeholders, not to solve problems directly.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A is wrong because isolating electricians in separate rooms hinders collaboration and communication, which is the opposite of good project management.
• B is wrong because weekly meetings for progress reporting are a monitoring/control tool, not a way to unblock the electricians on a specific delivery problem (socket locations).
• D is wrong because producing a detailed design is not the PM's job - that's a technical/design role, and the PM also shouldn't bypass the approval process or make design decisions unilaterally.

Memory tip: Think "PM = connector, not director." The PM connects the right people (Business Ambassador knows where sockets go because they represent the users) rather than doing the technical work or just running status meetings.
