    PMP · Question 82 · Task 10: Build shared understanding

    During a project planning session, different stakeholders express conflicting interpretations of a key project deliverable. The technical team understands it as a data integration platform, the business team expects a complete analytics solution, and the end users anticipate a self-service reporting tool. What should the project manager do FIRST?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Update the project charter to provide clearer deliverable definitions

    B.

    Ask the sponsor to clarify which interpretation is correct for the project

    C.

    Facilitate a requirements clarification session with all stakeholders to reach consensus on the deliverable

    D.

    Proceed with the technical team's interpretation since they will be implementing the solution

    How to approach this question

    When stakeholders have different interpretations of deliverables, facilitate collaborative clarification sessions to build shared understanding rather than unilateral decisions or documentation updates.

    Full Answer

    C.Facilitate a requirements clarification session with all stakeholders to reach consensus on the deliverable✓ Correct
    Building shared understanding requires collaborative discussion among all parties to surface assumptions, clarify requirements, and reach consensus before proceeding with development or documentation updates.

    Common mistakes

    Students often choose documentation updates (A) or sponsor decisions (B), missing the need for collaborative consensus-building to ensure true shared understanding among all stakeholders.
