PK0-005 Practice Question: A project manager is closing a project and needs…
A project manager is closing a project and needs to ensure all project objectives have been met. Which document should be used to verify completion of deliverables?
⚠ Common exam trap
Test-takers frequently confuse the WBS (which lists deliverables) with the scope statement (which defines acceptance criteria), leading them to select the WBS as the verification document, but the WBS does not include the criteria needed to confirm completion.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Project scope statement
The project scope statement defines the project's deliverables and the work required to create them, serving as the baseline for verifying that all objectives have been met during project closure. It includes acceptance criteria for each deliverable, which the project manager uses to confirm completion against the agreed-upon scope. This document is the authoritative reference for scope verification, ensuring no scope creep has occurred and all deliverables satisfy stakeholder requirements.
