Exam PK0-005 topic 1 question 122 discussion

Tricky question. The answer would be C.RAM. At first I thought it was A.TOR since I saw the "In an agenda for a kickoff meeting" because RAM are usually done later during planning. Then there is the part "some time is set aside to complete a document". While it's less common to create a RAM during the kickoff meeting itself, it's not impossible. If the project manager and team decide to allocate time during the kickoff meeting to start outlining roles and responsibilities, milestones, and key decisions in a RAM as part of the initial project planning, it can be a proactive step. This may be especially relevant for smaller projects or projects with tight timelines.

The correct answer is C. RAM. A Responsibility Assignment Matrix (RAM) is a document that identifies each member of the project, the members' roles and responsibilities for tasks, the milestones, and the key decisions. It is a valuable tool for communicating roles and responsibilities within the project team and ensuring that everyone is aligned on their tasks and contributions.

C - The data mentioned, which includes identifying project members, their roles and responsibilities for tasks, milestones, and key decisions, should be documented in a Responsibility Assignment Matrix (RAM). A RAM is a tool specifically designed to provide a clear and organized overview of who is accountable, responsible, consulted, and informed for different aspects of a project. It is an effective way to communicate roles and responsibilities within the project team and ensure that everyone is aligned on their tasks and contributions. The other options (TOR, WBS, SOW) are valuable documents in project management, but they do not serve the same purpose as a RAM when it comes to detailing individual roles and responsibilities.

client terms of reference (TOR) A document that defines the tasks and duties you will deliver for the project’s client and that highlights the project background and objectives at high level.

Revising my answer to A: Although the terms of reference of a project are sometimes referred to as the project charter,[4] there are significant differences between the two. This article describes a TOR containing detailed definitions, while a project charter has high-level requirements, assumptions, constraints and descriptions as well as a budget summary without detail, and a milestone-only schedule.

Terms of reference (TOR) define the purpose and structures of a project, committee, meeting, negotiation, or any similar collection of people who have agreed to work together to accomplish a shared goal. Terms of reference show how the object in question will be defined, developed, and verified. RAM refers to the framework in place to delegate tasks to individuals. A RACI is a popular form of RAM where different individuals within the team are given one of the RACI (responsible, accountable, consulted or informed) labels

At first I thought it was a RAM due to "roles and responsibilities" but the RAM is very simple and does not have "milestones" nor "key decisions". TOR is more detailed

C is correct, this is neither a TOR/SOW.

(CGPT) - The Terms of Reference (TOR) is a document that outlines the purpose, objectives, scope, and key aspects of a project. It provides a high-level overview of the project and serves as a reference for project stakeholders, including team members, sponsors, and other involved parties.
