Effective stakeholder engagement starts with shared understanding and agreement on goals and requirements. The PMI Agile Practice Guide (Section 7.2 Stakeholder Engagement) emphasizes the need to collaborate with stakeholders early and often, especially on prioritization and epic-level expectations.
Mike Griffiths in the PMI-ACP Exam Prep Book (Chapter 4: Stakeholder Engagement) underscores that misunderstandings are reduced when all parties are aligned on what " done " means, and epics and requirements are collaboratively defined.
Option A is correct: agreement and shared understanding reduce misalignment and conflict.
Option B introduces unnecessary delays in planning.
Option C is useful but insufficient if initial requirements are misunderstood.
Option D may help in contract terms but doesn’t solve day-to-day misalignment.
