PK0-005 Practice Question: A project manager is creating a document that…
A project manager is creating a document that identifies all project stakeholders and their influence, interest, and impact on the project. Which document is being created?
⚠ Common exam trap
CompTIA often tests the distinction between the stakeholder register (which lists stakeholders and their attributes) and the communication plan (which details the methods and frequency of engagement), tempting candidates to confuse the two.
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
✓
Stakeholder register
The stakeholder register is the document that captures all stakeholders along with their influence, interest, and impact on the project. This register serves as the foundational input for stakeholder analysis and engagement planning, directly matching the description in the question.
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 document that records identified stakeholders alongside their interest, influence and impact, which is exactly the analysis artefact described. It satisfies the requirement to capture influence, interest and impact in one place.
- ✗
Project scope statement
Why it's wrong here
The project scope statement defines deliverables, boundaries and acceptance criteria; it does not catalogue stakeholders or assess their influence and interest. A stakeholder register is the correct artefact when the goal is identifying stakeholders and rating their impact.
- ✗
Communication plan
Why it's wrong here
A communication plan defines what information each stakeholder receives, when, and through which channel; it presumes stakeholders are already identified. It is tempting because it references stakeholders and their needs, but the stem requires the artefact that first records influence, interest and impact — the stakeholder register.
- ✗
Risk register
Why it's wrong here
A risk register catalogues identified risks, their probability, impact and owners — not stakeholders. It is tempting because impact and influence are also risk attributes, and the register is a core project document, but the stem asks for a stakeholder identification artefact, which is the stakeholder register.
