PK0-005 Practice Question: During project planning, the project manager…
During project planning, the project manager wants to identify all documents that will be created and maintained throughout the project. Which project document should the project manager create?
⚠ Common exam trap
CompTIA often tests the distinction between documents that are created during planning (like the Communications Management Plan) versus documents that are outputs of other processes (like the Risk Register or WBS), leading candidates to confuse a specific risk or work breakdown tool with the overarching documentation plan.
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
✓
Communications management plan
The Communications Management Plan is the correct document because it defines all project communications, including which documents will be created, maintained, and distributed throughout the project lifecycle. This plan specifies the types of documents, their format, frequency, and stakeholders, directly addressing the project manager's need to identify all project documents.
