Exam CAPM topic 1 question 253 discussion

Why the other options are incorrect: B. Acknowledges the existence of a project, and defines its high-level information ➤ This describes the Project Charter, not the Project Management Plan. C. Authorizes the project manager to apply organizational resources to project activities ➤ Also describes the Project Charter, which formally authorizes the project. D. Provides the project manager with organizational standards, policies, processes, and procedures ➤ This describes Organizational Process Assets (OPAs), not the project management plan itself.

A. Defines the basis of all project work and how it will be performed The project management plan is essentially the blueprint for the entire project. It outlines:   Project objectives and deliverables Work breakdown structure Resource allocation Schedule Budget Risk management strategies Communication plan Quality management plan

A. Defines the basis of all project work and how it will be performed The creation of a project management plan accomplishes the definition of the basis of all project work and how it will be performed. The project management plan is a comprehensive document that outlines how the project will be executed, monitored, and controlled. It provides a detailed framework for managing all aspects of the project, including scope, schedule, cost, quality, risk, resources, communications, and more. Essentially, it serves as the roadmap for the project, detailing the approach, processes, and procedures that will guide the project from initiation to closure.
