PGMP · Question #490

The correct answer is D. Stakeholder engagement plan, stakeholder register, and stakeholder map.

Explanation

A preliminary stakeholder analysis requires three foundational artifacts: identifying stakeholders (stakeholder register), mapping and analyzing their relationships, influence, and positions (stakeholder map), and planning how to engage them (stakeholder engagement plan). Together these three components constitute a complete preliminary stakeholder analysis per PMI's Program Management Standard. Option A includes a stakeholder charter which is not a standard PMI artifact. Option B describes a RACI matrix and escalation process, which are operational tools, not analysis artifacts. Option C (SWOT analysis) can be a component of stakeholder analysis but alone is insufficient. Option D is the only choice that covers identification, analysis, and engagement planning - the three pillars of stakeholder analysis.
