Which TWO of the following are components of the project management plan?
The scope baseline is a component of the project management plan, comprising the approved scope statement, work breakdown structure and WBS dictionary. It satisfies the stem's requirement by providing the authorised scope against which project performance is measured, forming part of the plan's subsidiary baseline set alongside schedule and cost baselines.
Why this answer
The scope baseline (D) is a component of the project management plan because it consists of the approved project scope statement, the WBS, and the WBS dictionary, which together define what is in and out of scope and serve as the reference for scope verification and control. The schedule baseline (E) is likewise part of the project management plan, being the approved version of the schedule model used to track and compare actual progress against planned dates. Both baselines are formally included in the project management plan per PMBOK guidance, alongside other baselines such as the cost baseline.
In contrast, the risk register (A), issue log (B), and stakeholder register (C) are project documents, not components of the project management plan, so they do not belong in this answer.
Exam trap
The trap here is that candidates confuse project documents (risk register, issue log, stakeholder register) with formal components of the project management plan, which are the baselines and subsidiary plans.
