A key stakeholder, frustrated by a lack of transparency in IT projects, refuses to attend project meetings. How should the agile project manager engage this stakeholder?

The correct answer emphasizes building trust and demonstrating value, which is crucial for an unengaged stakeholder. By consistently delivering on commitments and using demo sessions, the project manager can show transparency and solicit direct feedback, addressing the stakeholder's frustration. Introducing the stakeholder to the team and inviting them to a review might be too abrupt without first addressing the underlying trust issue. Simply presenting a project plan and promising updates doesn't actively involve the stakeholder or address their perceived lack of transparency. While stakeholder mapping is a good general practice, it's a preparatory step, not an engagement strategy for an already disengaged stakeholder. The most effective approach is to rebuild trust through demonstrable actions and direct engagement.
