A project manager is assigned to a cross-functional initiative to implement a new customer relationship management system. Early stakeholder analysis reveals that the sales team values increased efficiency, the IT department prioritizes system security, and senior management focuses on cost reduction. During the kickoff meeting, the project manager presents a vision statement emphasizing only the cost savings. Which action would best address the stakeholders' diverse expectations?

Refine the vision statement to explicitly incorporate the values of all key stakeholder groups and present it at the next stakeholder meeting.

Defer vision refinement until after the system is implemented, using early results to demonstrate value to all groups.

Proceed with the cost-focused vision because it aligns with the primary sponsor's priorities and will gain executive support.

Create separate vision statements for each stakeholder group to ensure each feels their needs are met.

A project manager discovers that the engineering team has been interpreting the project vision differently from the marketing team. The engineers focus on technical excellence, while marketers emphasize customer appeal. This has led to conflicting priorities. What is the best corrective action to realign both teams?

Escalate the issue to the project sponsor and ask them to decide the official vision.

Let each team continue with its own interpretation to avoid conflict.

Send a memo clarifying the vision as defined by the marketing team.

Facilitate a joint workshop where both teams discuss their interpretations and co-create a unified vision statement.
