D1 and 4

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

Stakeholders in PRINCE2 are typically characterized by being affected by the project (either through impact or interest) and frequently interacting with the project, contributing inputs or being consulted for various aspects. This recognizes stakeholders as both internal and external to the organization, and not all stakeholders necessarily agree with every project objective. Reference: PRINCE2 Foundation Handbook, Stakeholder section.

But 2 is not true. They don’t agree with everything.

Wait, are they really only external? That seems off.

I don't think they agree with every objective, that's unrealistic.

Haha, who agrees with every project objective? That's like asking a cat to do your taxes. Gotta be 1 and 4, folks.

D is the way to go. Stakeholders are affected by the project and they engage with it. The other options are just weird.

Hmm, I'd say 1 and 4. Stakeholders are impacted by the project and they're involved in it. The other choices seem a bit off.

I'm going with D. Stakeholders are affected by the project and they interact with it. The other options don't really make sense.

Definitely 1 and 4. Stakeholders are affected by the project, and they interact with it. Who agrees with every objective? That's just unrealistic.

I recall that stakeholders are often impacted by projects and they do interact with them, which makes me lean towards option D. But I’m not entirely sure about the wording.

I thought stakeholders could be both internal and external, so option 3 doesn't sound right to me. But I’m a bit confused about option 2.

I practiced a similar question where we discussed how stakeholders interact with projects. I feel confident about option 4 being correct.

This is a tricky one, but I'm pretty confident that stakeholders aren't always external. I'll go with option D.

I think the key is understanding that stakeholders can be both internal and external to the organization. Option D looks like the best choice to me.

Wait, I'm a bit confused. Aren't stakeholders supposed to agree with the project objectives? I'm not sure about that one.

I remember that stakeholders are definitely affected by the project, so option 1 seems right. But I'm not sure about option 2; I think they might not always agree with everything.

Okay, I've got this. Stakeholders are definitely affected by the project, and they typically interact with it. The other options don't seem quite right.
