Rob has been assigned to manage a complex project. Rob has recently acquired his PMP certification and is excited about applying his newly acquired knowledge to his project. During the project initiation, he produced the stakeholder register and impressed his project sponsor.

Rob is now about to develop the stakeholder engagement plan for his project. This has made the project sponsor a bit uncomfortable because he thinks Rob is spending too much time doing paperwork instead of actually executing the project work. The project sponsor has asked Rob to explain the difference between the stakeholder register and the stakeholder engagement plan. How should Rob respond?

The stakeholder register only contains basic stakeholder assessment information, while the stakeholder engagement plan includes detailed stakeholder engagement strategy that ensures project success.
The stakeholder engagement plan is a component of the project management plan, while the stakeholder register is not.
The stakeholder register is produced during the project initiation, while the stakeholder engagement plan is produced during the project planning phase.
Developing the stakeholder engagement plan is a good project management practice.
