The stakeholder register is a project document that identifies and classifies the project stakeholders, their roles, interests, expectations, and influence levels. It is an output of the Identify Stakeholders process, which is the first process in the Project Stakeholder Management knowledge area. The stakeholder register should be updated whenever there are changes in the project environment or stakeholder information, such as a promotion, a change of role, or a change of contact details. Updating the stakeholder register will help the project manager and the project team to communicate effectively and appropriately with the stakeholders, and to manage their expectations and engagement levels throughout the project life cycle. The project management plan is a comprehensive document that describes how the project will be executed, monitored, and controlled. It integrates and consolidates the subsidiary plans and baselines from the different knowledge areas, such as scope, schedule, cost, quality, resources, communications, risk, procurement, and stakeholder management. The project management plan is an output of the Develop Project Management Plan process, which is the second process in the Project Integration Management knowledge area. The project management plan should be updated only when there are changes in the project scope, objectives, deliverables, or approach, and when these changes are approved through the Perform Integrated Change Control process. Updating the project management plan for a stakeholder promotion is not necessary, unless it affects the project scope or other aspects of the project. The stakeholder engagement plan is a subsidiary plan of the project management plan that describes the strategies and actions to increase the support and minimize the resistance of the stakeholders throughout the project. It is an output of the Plan Stakeholder Engagement process, which is the second process in the Project Stakeholder Management knowledge area. The stakeholder engagement plan should be updated when there are changes in the stakeholder engagement levels, needs, or expectations, and when these changes are approved through the Perform Integrated Change Control process. Updating the stakeholder engagement plan for a stakeholder promotion may be required, depending on how it affects the stakeholder's interest, influence, or power over the project. The communications management plan is a subsidiary plan of the project management plan that describes the communication methods, formats, frequency, and responsibilities for the project. It is an output of the Plan Communications Management process, which is the first process in the Project Communications Management knowledge area. The communications management plan should be updated when there are changes in the communication requirements, preferences, or channels of the project stakeholders, and when these changes are approved through the Perform Integrated Change Control process. Updating the communications management plan for a stakeholder promotion may be necessary, depending on how it affects the stakeholder's communication needs or preferences. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Stakeholder register, as it is the most relevant and appropriate document to update for a stakeholder promotion.

Question 440
A new project team consists of team members from different departments who have varying levels of experience and different areas of expertise. Which three approaches should the project manager take in order to facilitate knowledge sharing? (Choose 3)
Correct Answer: A,B,E
Facilitating knowledge sharing in a cross-functional and diverse team is essential for team integration and improved performance. Creating informal and structured opportunities like daily learning sessions, retrospectives for knowledge exchange, and shadowing enables team members to learn from one another and develop a shared understanding. According to the PMBOK Guide - Seventh Edition and the Agile Practice Guide, knowledge transfer is best facilitated through collaborative activities, peer learning, and continuous feedback loops. Option C focuses more on gap assignment than active knowledge sharing. Option D is valid in some cases but leans toward external intervention rather than internal team collaboration.
