Hi Synetech,
The correct answer is Number 1 which is Initiating, Planning, Executing, Monitoring and Controlling.
we identify stakeholders through the different stakeholder knowledge area processes as below:
1- Identify Stakeholders: which is from the initiating process group. the main output of this activity is the stakeholder register.
2- Plan Stakeholder Management: which belongs to the planning process group. The stakeholder register gets updated in this process as part of the Project Documents Updates output.
3- Manage Stakeholder Engagement: which belongs to the executing process group. The stakeholder register gets updated in this process as part of the Project Documents Updates output.
4- Control Stakeholder Engagement: which belongs to the monitoring and controlling process group. The stakeholder register gets updated in this process as part of the Project Documents Updates output.
Basically, one of the main jobs of a project manager is to identify and manage stakeholder expectations. this takes place during the whole life cycle of the project.
Closing process group is excluded as it is mainly about delivering the project's end result or service and updating the organization process assets (project files, closure documents and historical information).
I hope this answers your question.
