The correct answer is B because agile approaches prioritize continuous stakeholder engagement, collaboration, and adaptive communication strategies. When stakeholder roles are redefined due to an organizational restructure, the agile team should proactively and directly engage with the newly impacted stakeholders to clarify expectations, responsibilities, and to maintain alignment with evolving needs.
The PMI Agile Practice Guide states:
“Engaging stakeholders directly and frequently fosters a shared understanding of objectives and priorities. Two-way communication, such as conversations and collaboration sessions, is preferred over one-way communication such as reports or status updates.”
(PMI Agile Practice Guide, Section 4.2 – Stakeholder Engagement)
In addition, Mike Griffiths’ PMI-ACP Exam Prep Book supports this approach by highlighting:
“An agile team should regularly revisit and refresh stakeholder analysis. When changes occur in the stakeholder landscape, it ' s essential to revalidate stakeholder needs through open, two-way communication, rather than assuming static roles.”
(Mike Griffiths, Chapter 3 – Value-Driven Delivery / Stakeholder Engagement)
Options A, C, and D fail to incorporate agile’s emphasis on direct engagement and collaboration. Option D, while partially correct, lacks the proactive communication component that agile requires. Option C suggests a passive communication method (email), which is discouraged in agile practices for important stakeholder interactions.
Therefore, the best agile-aligned choice is: B
