PK0-005 Tools and Documentation Practice Question
A project manager is leading a small software development project and wants to create a document that lists all project stakeholders, their roles, and their contact information. Which document should the project manager create?
⚠ Common exam trap
Test-takers frequently confuse the stakeholder register with the communications management plan, but only the register lists individual stakeholders and their contact details.
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 correct document because it is specifically designed to identify and document all stakeholders, their roles, and their contact information. It serves as a primary input for stakeholder engagement planning and communications management, ensuring that the project manager knows who to involve and how to reach them throughout the project lifecycle.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Resource management plan
Why it's wrong here
The resource management plan describes how project resources will be acquired, allocated, and managed. It focuses on team members and physical resources, not on all stakeholders. It does not typically include contact information for stakeholders who are not part of the project team, so it does not meet the requirement of listing all stakeholders.
- ✗
Project charter
Why it's wrong here
The project charter formally authorizes the project and provides the project manager with authority. It includes high-level information such as the project purpose and key stakeholders, but it does not contain a comprehensive list of all stakeholders with their roles and contact details. That level of detail is found in the stakeholder register.
- ✓
Stakeholder register
Why this is correct
The stakeholder register is a project document that identifies all stakeholders, including their roles, contact information, and other relevant details. It is used to plan stakeholder engagement and manage communications. In this scenario, the project manager needs a centralized list of stakeholders, making the stakeholder register the appropriate choice.
- ✗
Communications management plan
Why it's wrong here
The communications management plan describes how project communications will be planned, structured, implemented, and monitored. It does not list individual stakeholders or their contact details; instead, it outlines the processes and formats for communication. While it may reference the stakeholder register, it is not the document that contains the stakeholder list itself.
