PK0-005 Practice Question: Which THREE components are typically included in…
Which THREE components are typically included in a project management plan?
⚠ Common exam trap
CompTIA often tests the distinction between 'project management plan components' (which include baselines and subsidiary plans) and 'project documents' (like issue logs and stakeholder registers), so candidates mistakenly include operational logs or registers as part of the formal plan.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Schedule baseline
The project management plan is the formal, approved document that defines how the project is executed, monitored, and controlled. The schedule baseline (B), cost baseline (D), and scope baseline (E) are three of the key baselines that collectively form the performance measurement baseline (PMB) against which project performance is measured. These baselines are formally approved and can only be changed through a formal change control process.
