A project manager is spending most of the project funding in the current phase of the project.
The manager is also managing various resources in the project.
What is the stakeholder influence on the project now compared to earlier phases?
A. Cannot be determined
B. More
C. Less
D. Same
Correct answer is C.
Since the project manager is spending most of the money and managing resources, he or she is currently in the execution phase of the project.
Spending levels reach a maximum in the execution phase. Stakeholder influences on the project decrease over the life of the project.
Hence, stakeholder influence is now less than in previous phases. PMBOK page 549.
