PK0-005 Practice Question: A project team is working on a software…
A project team is working on a software development project. The project manager needs to track which team members are assigned to each task. Which document provides this information?
⚠ Common exam trap
CompTIA often tests the distinction between a document that shows *who is assigned to a task* (RAM) versus a document that shows *when a resource is available* (resource calendar), leading candidates to mistakenly choose the resource calendar when the question asks about task assignment.
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
✓
Responsibility assignment matrix
The responsibility assignment matrix (RAM), often in the form of a RACI chart, explicitly maps each work package or task to the specific team members who are responsible, accountable, consulted, or informed. This directly answers the project manager's need to track which team members are assigned to each task in the software development project.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Project charter
Why it's wrong here
The project charter authorises the project and names the project manager, but contains no task-level assignments. It is the correct document when confirming high-level authority, objectives and success criteria at initiation, not for tracking who performs each task.
- ✓
Responsibility assignment matrix
Why this is correct
A responsibility assignment matrix, typically a RACI chart, maps each task or deliverable to the specific team members responsible, accountable, consulted and informed. That cross-referencing of people against work is precisely the assignment information the project manager needs.
- ✗
Communication plan
Why it's wrong here
The communication plan defines who receives which information, when and via which channel; it does not map people to tasks. It is correct when planning stakeholder reporting cadence and escalation paths, not for identifying task ownership.
- ✗
Resource calendar
Why it's wrong here
A resource calendar records working days, shifts, leave and availability, not task ownership. It is the right artefact when scheduling around absences or determining when a resource is free, not for showing which team member is assigned to each task.
