PK0-005 Practice Question: A project team is experiencing frequent scope…
A project team is experiencing frequent scope changes. The project manager wants to ensure that all changes are properly reviewed and approved. Which document should the project manager reference?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many exam-takers confuse the project charter (which authorizes the project) with the scope management plan (which governs how scope changes are handled), leading them to select the charter instead of the correct document that defines the change control process.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Scope management plan
The scope management plan defines the process for managing scope changes, including how change requests are submitted, reviewed, and approved. Since the project manager needs to ensure proper review and approval of all changes, this is the correct document to reference. It outlines the specific roles, responsibilities, and procedures for scope change control, which directly addresses the issue of frequent scope changes.
