CAPM Practice Question: Project Management Fundamentals and Core Concepts
Which TWO of the following are outputs of the Identify Stakeholders process?
⚠ Common exam trap
PMI often tests the distinction between the Stakeholder Register (the output of Identify Stakeholders) and outputs of later planning or execution processes, such as the Stakeholder Engagement Plan. Stakeholder analysis is a tool and technique used within the process, not an output.
