Wording Question - Plan Stakeholders vs Exucute !?

Submitted by philzs on Thu, 12/25/2014 - 20:43

Jessica is managing an office refurbishment project. All of the project stakeholders have been identified and classified. The stakeholder management plan has also been approved. Jessica is
managing a project for the first time in her life and she is relying on the PMBOK guide as a reference to deliver a great project.

Which of the following processes would provide guidance to Jessica regarding how to execute the approved stakeholder management plan?

A. Control Stakeholder Engagement
B. Manage Stakeholder Engagement
C. Identify Stakeholders
D. Plan Stakeholder Management

I would like to have your comment on that question, and the way to answer this ?

I think the question is asking about the guidance which she requires and the Plan Stakeholder Management gives the guidance on how to manage, execute and control the stakeholders.

@Shaan23

when I read this " provide guidance to Jessica regarding how to execute "

I understand whe is in the Executing but The guidance is allways in the "Plan", so I don't get it, since the question deson't ask where are we now but Where did we developed the plan

!?!

If you read the last part of the question it mentions approved stakeholder management Plan.... 

I read the question as where will Jesica execute the approved stakelholder management Plan.... But I kind of agree and see where the confusion is coming from....
