PK0-005 Practice Question: A project manager is developing a communication…
A project manager is developing a communication plan for a software implementation project. The team includes developers, business analysts, and external vendors. Which document should the project manager reference to ensure communication aligns with stakeholder expectations?
⚠ Common exam trap
Watch out — candidates often confuse the stakeholder register with the stakeholder engagement plan, but the register is the source document for identifying who stakeholders are and what they expect, while the engagement plan is a later output that builds on that data.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Stakeholder register
The stakeholder register is the foundational document that lists all stakeholders and their key attributes, such as roles, influence, and expectations. By referencing this register, the project manager can ensure the communication plan addresses the specific needs and preferences of developers, business analysts, and external vendors, aligning with stakeholder expectations from the outset.
