Which THREE of the following are components of the project management plan as defined in the PMBOK Guide?
⚠ Common exam trap
CompTIA often tests the distinction between project documents (like the risk register and project charter) and the formal components of the project management plan (baselines and subsidiary plans), so candidates mistakenly include inputs or outputs as part of the plan itself.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Schedule baseline
The schedule baseline (B) is a component of the project management plan because it is an approved version of the schedule model that is used as a basis for comparison to actual results. The PMBOK Guide defines the project management plan as including baselines such as the schedule, cost, and scope baselines, which are used to measure project performance.
