Answer choices
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
✓
Project charter
The project charter is the document that formally authorizes the project and includes high-level risks, assumptions, and constraints. Option A is incorrect because the project management plan is developed after the charter and is more detailed. Option B is incorrect because the risk register is created during the planning process, not initially. Option C is incorrect because the work breakdown structure is also developed later during planning. Therefore, the project charter is the first document to capture these high-level elements.
