Answers
Suggested answer: B

Explanation:

Defining product backlog priorities with the sponsor and key stakeholders to deliver business benefits is an important step to ensure that the project is aligned with the business's needs and objectives, and that it delivers the expected value.

Explanation:

A project manager meets with external stakeholders to explain the objectives and outline expectations for a new project. A key stakeholder appears to support the project, with the condition that other unrelated projects will receive financial support. Due to cultural sensitivities, the project manager is reluctant to be direct with the key stakeholder on this matter. The project cannot proceed without the support of this stakeholder.
