14.4 Exercise Read the following scenario and write down an analysis of the information that would be useful in answering an exam question based on this scenario. For example where are we in the project management process (initiating, planning, executing, or monitoring and closing)? What other information can you gather from the scenario?

Your analysis may not match ours exactly but make sure you feel comfortable with your answer and ours. The goal is to practice quick critical thinking. By practicing analyzing scenarios, you will be better prepared to do it quickly and confidently during the exam.

Scenario. A project manager notices someone has become less involved in the project. The stakeholder gave helpful opinions on the earliest deliverables, but now they are less involved in the project. The project manager contacts the stakeholder to say, “I miss your feedback and always appreciate it. Is there a reason for less input from you? Is there anything I can do to support your further involvement?”
