PK0-005 Practice Question: A project manager is reviewing the key components…
A project manager is reviewing the key components of a project management plan. Which THREE of the following are typically included in a project management plan?
⚠ Common exam trap
CompTIA often tests the distinction between 'project management plan components' (which include baselines and subsidiary plans) and 'project documents' (such as the risk register and issue log), leading candidates to incorrectly select documents that are managed separately from the plan itself.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Schedule baseline
The schedule baseline (C) is a key component of the project management plan because it is the approved version of the project schedule that serves as a reference point against which actual progress is measured. It includes start and end dates for activities, milestones, and dependencies, and any changes to it must go through formal change control.
