Which of the following is the BEST way to manage stakeholder expectations?

Providing a project charter is important for informing stakeholders, but it doesn't guarantee their understanding, agreement, or active buy-in, which is crucial for effective expectation management.

Approving all stakeholder requests is unsustainable and can lead to scope creep and unrealistic expectations, rather than managing them effectively.

Obtaining stakeholder buy-in ensures that stakeholders understand and agree with the project's objectives, scope, and plan, leading to realistic expectations and a collaborative approach to challenges. This proactive engagement minimizes misunderstandings and resistance.

Having stakeholders complete a change request form is a reactive process for managing changes, not a proactive method for establishing and managing expectations from the outset.
