During a project status meeting, a stakeholder complains that the project is not delivering the expected business value. The project manager reviews the business case and finds that the project is on track per the approved scope. What should the project manager do?
⚠ Common exam trap
Test-takers frequently confuse stakeholder satisfaction with scope compliance, leading them to either escalate prematurely (Option B) or add features (Option D), when the correct action is to realign expectations through the business case.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Review the business case with the stakeholder to realign expectations.
The stakeholder's perception of business value may differ from the approved scope. The project manager should review the business case with the stakeholder to clarify the agreed-upon objectives, success criteria, and expected value, thereby realigning expectations without scope creep. This approach maintains stakeholder engagement and ensures the project remains within its defined boundaries.
