1. Question 111 · 497 in bank

   Which kind of communication should the project manager use when creating reports for government bodies?

   • AHierarchical
   • BExternal
   • CFormal
   • DOfficial

   Show answer

   Answer: D

   Explanation

   D is the accurate answer. It’s a poorly written question, asking for a KIND of communication. PMBOK 6th does not list KINDS. Instead it lists: DIMENSIONS (pg 361): internal, external, formal, informal, hierarchical focus, official, unofficial, written and oral METHODS (pg 374): interactive, push, pull APPROACHES (pg 374): interpersonal, small group, public, mass, network and social computing Based upon the choice of answers, its clear they are asking for a “dimension” of communication. The answer is not External communication *unless the government itself is a stakeholder*. From pg 361, 6th: “External: focus on external stakeholders such as customers, vendors, other projects, organizations, government, the public, and environmental advocates”. The only other dimension that mentions government is “Official: annual reports, reports to regulators or government bodies”. The accurate answer is (D) OFFICIAL. Whether the accurate answer is the correct answer depends on the test writers.
