B.Project charter

MCQmedium

Which document defines the roles and responsibilities of stakeholders in a project and is often presented as a matrix?

A.RACI matrix

B.Communication plan

C.Stakeholder register

D.Project charter

AnswerA

Correct: RACI matrix assigns responsibility and accountability for tasks.

Why this answer

The RACI matrix (Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, Informed) is the correct document because it explicitly defines stakeholder roles and responsibilities in a project and is presented as a matrix format. This aligns with the PMBOK Guide and the PK0-005 exam objectives for Tools and Documentation, where the RACI matrix is the standard tool for clarifying participation levels across project tasks.

Exam trap

The trap here is that candidates often confuse the stakeholder register (a list) with the RACI matrix (a matrix of roles and responsibilities), leading them to select Option C instead of the correct matrix-based document.

How to eliminate wrong answers

Option B (Communication plan) is wrong because it defines how, when, and by whom project information is distributed, not the specific roles and responsibilities of stakeholders in a matrix format. Option C (Stakeholder register) is wrong because it is a list of stakeholders with basic identification and classification details, not a matrix that maps roles to tasks. Option D (Project charter) is wrong because it authorizes the project and assigns the project manager, but does not provide a detailed matrix of stakeholder roles and responsibilities across activities.
