⚠ Common exam trap
PK0-005 often tests the distinction between the stakeholder register and the communication plan, as both involve stakeholders but serve different purposes: the register identifies and analyzes stakeholders, while the communication plan defines how to communicate with them.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Stakeholder register
The stakeholder register is the project document that identifies all stakeholders and records their interests, influence, expectations, and other relevant details. It is a key output of the Identify Stakeholders process in project stakeholder management. Unlike other documents, it specifically captures stakeholder analysis information to help the project manager engage stakeholders effectively.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Stakeholder register
Why this is correct
The stakeholder register is the artefact that records each identified stakeholder alongside their interests, influence, and expectations, which is precisely what the stem describes. It satisfies the constraint of capturing all stakeholders and their attributes in one document, distinguishing it from the stakeholder engagement plan, which instead defines management strategies.
- ✗
RACI matrix
Why it's wrong here
A RACI matrix assigns responsibility, accountability, consult and inform roles for tasks or decisions; it maps duties, not stakeholder interests, influence or expectations. It would be the right artefact once activities are defined and role clarity is the goal.
- ✗
Issue log
Why it's wrong here
An issue log records problems, owners and resolution status during execution; it captures events, not the interests, influence and expectations of people. It is the correct document when tracking open issues, risks escalated to problems, or blockers needing resolution.
- ✗
Communication plan
Why it's wrong here
A communication plan specifies what information is distributed, to whom, when and by which channel; it assumes the stakeholder analysis already exists. It is the right choice after interests and influence are understood and message routing must be defined.
