PK0-005 Practice Question: Basics of IT Infrastructure and IT Project Management
A company is migrating from on-premise email to a cloud-based solution. The vendor changes the migration tool mid-project. Which project management document should be updated to track the impact on requirements?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many candidates confuse the risk management plan with tracking requirement impacts, but the RTM is the specific artifact for linking and monitoring requirement changes throughout the project lifecycle.

Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Requirements traceability matrix
The requirements traceability matrix (RTM) links each requirement to its origin, design, testing, and delivery status. When the vendor changes the migration tool mid-project, the RTM must be updated to reflect how this change impacts each requirement—such as compatibility, data migration rules, or security controls—ensuring all requirements are still met and traceable.

Risk management plan
Why it's wrong here
While the tool change may introduce risk, the primary document for tracking requirement impact is the RTM.
- ✗
Project charter
Why it's wrong here
The project charter is a high-level document and does not track detailed requirement changes.
- ✓
Requirements traceability matrix
Why this is correct
The RTM links requirements to their implementation and is updated when changes affect how requirements are met.

Work breakdown structure
Why it's wrong here
WBS focuses on deliverables and tasks, not the tracing of requirements.
