A project manager is leading a project that has a dependency on the client's vendor management system for critical requirements. The vendor management team will

not derive any benefits from the project. However, the project requires support from the vendor management head.

What should the project manager do next?

Get support from the sponsor to hire a subject matter expert $($SME$)$ from the vendor management team to work on the project.

Review the terms of reference of the steering committee to include the vendor management head.

Work with the sponsor on a communications management plan to obtain support from the vendor management head.

Obtain help from the sponsor to highlight any nonfinancial benefits for the vendor management team.
