A project manager is experiencing a project with a high degree of change. Which type of stakeholder engagement management does this project require?

Discussing only with management limits engagement to a single tier and does not address the broader stakeholder base affected by frequent changes.

Escalating to sponsors is a reactive action taken when issues cannot be resolved at the project level, not a proactive engagement strategy for high-change projects.

In high-change environments, the PMBOK Manage Stakeholder Engagement process and agile principles both emphasize continuous, regular interaction with stakeholders to surface issues early, adjust expectations, and maintain trust. Ongoing engagement ensures stakeholders remain informed and supportive as the project adapts to change.

Engaging only with decision makers excludes other stakeholders whose support, input, or concerns are critical to successfully navigating a high-change environment.
