PK0-005 Practice Question: During project planning, the project team…
During project planning, the project team identifies several assumptions and constraints. Which document is the most appropriate place to record these items?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many exam-takers confuse assumptions and constraints with risks, leading them to select the risk register, but assumptions and constraints are planning inputs, not risk entries, and are formally recorded in the project charter or project management plan.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Project charter or project management plan
Assumptions and constraints are foundational elements that shape project planning and execution. The project charter formally authorizes the project and often captures high-level assumptions and constraints, while the project management plan details how the project will be executed, monitored, and controlled, including a more comprehensive list. Recording them in these documents ensures they are visible to all stakeholders and integrated into the project's baseline.
