Answer 1

The answer is given below:

D) Ensure the project plan is able to accommodate all of the stakeholders' goals and requests.

Important stakeholders in the project would be the management of the organization, the first line managers, and team members, members from other department and sometimes outside consultant and clients too. All these stakeholders have to work hand in hand for a successful project. So Jan should involve and improve stakeholder communication by making them understand the goals.
