The correct answer is A – To participate in establishing a shared vision as a member of the team.
Stakeholder engagement ensures alignment between the team and business needs. Early and continuous involvement helps define product vision, clarify priorities, and ensure that the delivered product meets customer expectations.
From the PMI Agile Practice Guide:
“Engaging stakeholders early and often increases transparency, encourages shared ownership, and ensures that the product being developed aligns with business value.”
(PMI Agile Practice Guide, Section 4.2 – Stakeholder Engagement)
Mike Griffiths reinforces:
“Projects are more successful when stakeholders co-create the product vision and maintain involvement. Agile teams encourage active participation to ensure delivery of value.”
(Mike Griffiths, PMI-ACP Exam Prep Book, Chapter 3 – Stakeholder Engagement)
Why other options fall short:
B (acceptance criteria) is mainly defined by the Product Owner, not all stakeholders.
C is typically owned by the development team.
D is not a core stakeholder responsibility in Agile.
