PK0-005 Practice Question: The project team is experiencing conflicts over…
The project team is experiencing conflicts over task assignments. Which document should the project manager reference to clarify roles and responsibilities?
⚠ Common exam trap
A common mix-up: candidates confuse the Communication plan (which manages information flow) with the RACI chart (which manages task ownership), leading them to pick a document that addresses stakeholder updates rather than role clarity.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
RACI chart
A RACI chart (Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, Informed) is the correct document for clarifying roles and responsibilities in a project. It explicitly maps each task to team members, defining who does the work, who has final authority, who provides input, and who needs updates. This directly resolves conflicts over task assignments by removing ambiguity about ownership and accountability.
