CCAR-P Practice Question: Stakeholder Communication and Lifecycle Management
Midway through a six-month Claude deployment for a claims-processing team, the operations director tells you the team will not adopt the assistant because 'it slows us down.' Usage telemetry shows agents open the tool but abandon it after one or two interactions. What is the most effective response to this adoption risk?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is interpreting abandonment as user resistance or a model capability gap, when the telemetry indicates the assistant does not fit the existing claims workflow.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Observe agents performing real claims in their environment, identify where the assistant interrupts or duplicates their existing steps, and co-design a revised integration with the operations director.
Low usage with rapid abandonment is a workflow-fit signal, so the architect should observe real work and locate the friction points before changing models or policies. Co-designing the integration with the operations director turns the stakeholder from a blocker into a partner and produces changes grounded in actual claim-handling steps. This is more likely to yield durable adoption than mandates, model upgrades, or attributing the problem to user resistance.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Conclude that the claims team is resistant to change, document the adoption risk in the project log, and continue the rollout with the remaining teams.
Why it's wrong here
Framing the issue as resistance avoids investigating a plausible product problem and abandons the stakeholder who raised it. Abandonment after one or two interactions is behavioral evidence of friction, not attitude. Continuing the rollout without diagnosis risks repeating the same failure elsewhere and signals to sponsors that adoption risks are being logged rather than managed.
- ✓
Observe agents performing real claims in their environment, identify where the assistant interrupts or duplicates their existing steps, and co-design a revised integration with the operations director.
Why this is correct
Abandonment after one or two interactions points to a workflow fit problem, and direct observation reveals where the assistant adds friction rather than value. Co-designing the revised integration with the operations director builds ownership and ensures changes reflect real claim-handling constraints. This evidence-based approach addresses the root cause and gives the director a stake in making adoption succeed.
- ✗
Escalate to the executive sponsor and request a mandate requiring agents to use the assistant for every claim, with compliance tracked weekly.
Why it's wrong here
A mandate addresses the symptom, not the cause. If the tool genuinely slows agents down, forcing usage will increase frustration, degrade throughput, and damage trust in the program. Mandates can also generate misleading adoption metrics that hide the underlying workflow mismatch. Understanding why agents abandon the tool is the prerequisite for any intervention.
- ✗
Upgrade to the largest available Claude model and increase the context window so responses become more comprehensive for every claim.
Why it's wrong here
Model size and context length do not resolve a workflow integration problem. If agents abandon the tool because it interrupts their process, richer responses may make interactions slower and more cumbersome. This change also increases cost and latency, which could worsen the perceived slowdown. The telemetry suggests friction in the flow, not insufficient model capability.
