Question

A project manager has been assigned to a project that is just starting. The organization has a very low risk appetite towards this project due to constraints on budget and schedule.

Explanation

The scenario highlights that stakeholders are highly engaged and want clear visibility into risks and project progress. With a low risk appetite, managing stakeholder expectations centers on ensuring they receive timely, accurate, and relevant information. Developing a communication plan (D) directly addresses this need by formalizing how, when, and what risk-related information is shared. While options B and C are valid risk management activities, they do not directly address the stakeholder expectation management challenge described. A communication plan is the structured solution for ensuring visibility.
