Exam Slack-Con-201 Topic 1 Question 7 Discussion

The correct answer is A. Approval policies for apps and external collaboration are governance and policy decisions, so the right stakeholders are the people responsible for Slack policies and settings. This may include Org Owners, Org Admins, security, compliance, legal, IT, or collaboration platform owners depending on the client's operating model. Option B is too narrow because the head of IT may not own Slack-specific policy decisions, especially in a mature Slack environment where security, compliance, or collaboration governance may share responsibility. Option C is misaligned because communication and learning stakeholders are important for rollout messaging and enablement, not app approval or Slack Connect policy decisions. Option D is also insufficient because superusers understand usage patterns but usually do not own enterprise policy decisions. The consultant should identify decision-makers by responsibility, not title alone. Asking who owns policies and settings ensures the correct people attend the discussion and prevents policy decisions from being made by stakeholders without proper authority.
