Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Understanding the role of a project in the organization's strategy enables project managers to align their actions and decisions with the strategic goals, including demonstrating the project's contribution to the mission, explaining critical objectives to team members and stakeholders, and responding appropriately to project challenges. However, focusing on problems or solutions specifically because the project is a low strategic priority does not align with the proactive and strategic alignment implied in the other options. It suggests a passive or negative approach that is not directly related to understanding the project's strategic role.
