The correct answer is C – Share information via interactive methods such as a brainstorming session.
Agile promotes collaboration, continuous stakeholder engagement, and open communication. When a stakeholder lacks understanding, the practitioner should use interactive techniques like brainstorming, user story workshops, or product visioning sessions. These methods foster transparency, build trust, and allow stakeholders to co-create the product vision.
From the PMI Agile Practice Guide:
“Effective stakeholder engagement relies on interactive communication methods such as workshops, demos, and feedback sessions to ensure alignment and transparency.”
(PMI Agile Practice Guide, Section 4.2 – Stakeholder Engagement)
Mike Griffiths notes:
“Interactive, face-to-face collaboration provides the richest communication. Agile favors dialogue over documentation to enhance shared understanding.”
(Mike Griffiths, PMI-ACP Exam Prep Book, Chapter 3 – Stakeholder Engagement)
Why the other options are less ideal:
A (status emails) are passive and limited in effectiveness.
B may violate Scrum guidelines—daily standups are not intended for stakeholders.
D delays engagement and limits collaboration to after-the-fact review.
