Exam CAPM topic 1 question 251 discussion

Key phrases: "as needed" which = Communication

Why the others are not correct: A. Plan Risk Management – Usually performed once or at predefined points during the project. C. Plan Resource Management – Typically developed early in the project and updated only if major changes occur. D. Plan Cost Management – Generally performed once during planning and not revisited unless there's a significant change to project scope or cost strategy.

B. Plan Communications Management This process involves determining the information and communication needs of the project stakeholders and defining the communication approach. As the project evolves, stakeholder needs and communication requirements can change, necessitating periodic updates to the communication plan.   The other options are typically performed once at the beginning of the project or at specific intervals, rather than continuously throughout the project life cycle.

B. Plan Communications Management The process of "Plan Communications Management" is performed periodically throughout the project as needed. It involves developing and maintaining a communications management plan that guides how project communication activities will be conducted. Since communication needs and strategies can change as the project progresses, this process may be revisited and updated periodically to ensure that communication remains effective and aligned with project requirements and stakeholder needs.

The process that is performed periodically throughout the project as needed is "A. Plan Risk Management." This process involves identifying, assessing, and planning for potential risks throughout the project's lifecycle and is not a one-time activity but rather an ongoing and iterative process to address new risks as they arise.
