PK0-005 Practice Question: A project manager is struggling to get timely…
A project manager is struggling to get timely decisions from the steering committee. To improve governance, what should the project manager update?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many candidates confuse the communication management plan with governance, but governance is about decision authority and engagement, not just information flow, which is why the stakeholder management plan is the correct update.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Stakeholder management plan
The stakeholder management plan defines how stakeholders will be engaged and how decisions will be obtained from them, including the steering committee. By updating this plan, the project manager can establish clear escalation paths, decision-making authority levels, and meeting cadences to ensure timely governance. This directly addresses the lack of timely decisions by formalizing the engagement and decision process.
