In my view the conflict goes beyond communications. All significant stakeholders need to be involved in the delivery plan development not just be on the receiving end of the plan. Pre-agreement on the project schedule and deliverables is critical to buy-in and participation. Answer - D

I'd also support D - it sounds more like a stakeholder identification and engagement issue than a communication or resources-related one...

Hi all,
option C sounds interesting But I will vouch for D just like Kiron and Peter. The PDM as a stakeholder will be in the know of the Project schedules and deliverables if consent and agreement id obtained

Well, my take on this is "D", logically since the PM should is worried about the duration 02 months, hence picking the related answer would be involving the Project schedules & Deliverables.
