問 54
- ア
正解 A stakeholder is any individual or organization that affects or is affected by the execution or outcomes of a project. Project team members directly carry out the project and are strongly involved in its progress and results, so they are naturally included among stakeholders. Therefore ア is appropriate.
Incorrectイ
The mistake is limiting stakeholders to those who only receive benefits. Stakeholders include not only the parties that gain benefits, but also those who bear costs, disadvantages, or risks, as well as users who raise requirements, regulatory authorities, and so on. A description that restricts stakeholders to beneficiaries is too narrow and inappropriate.
Incorrectウ
The mistake is limiting stakeholders to only the project sponsor who bears the costs. The sponsor is one important stakeholder, but there are also many other stakeholders such as project members, users, and the operations department. A description that restricts stakeholders to only the sponsor is inappropriate.
Incorrectエ
The project manager themselves is also responsible for planning and executing the project and has a strong stake in its outcomes, making them a central stakeholder. The description saying they are not included is wrong.
- Definition of a stakeholder = any individual or organization that has an interest or concern in the project and affects or is affected by it. It broadly includes members, the project manager, the sponsor, users, and so on.
- Options that restrict the scope, such as “only ~ are stakeholders”, narrow the definition and are a typical pattern that tends to be wrong.
