PK0-005 Practice Question: Which THREE of the following are key components…

Which THREE of the following are key components of a project management 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

Scope baseline

The scope baseline, schedule baseline, and cost baseline are key components of the project management plan. The risk register is a project document, not part of the plan itself. Lessons learned are created after project closure.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • Scope baseline

    Why this is correct

    The scope baseline (scope statement, WBS, WBS dictionary) is part of the plan.

  • Lessons learned

    Why it's wrong here

    Lessons learned are documented after project closure.

  • Schedule baseline

    Why this is correct

    The schedule baseline is part of the plan.

  • Risk register

    Why it's wrong here

    A risk register is a subsidiary document that logs identified risks, their probability, and impact, but it is not a key component of the project management plan itself; the plan instead includes the risk management plan, which defines the processes for managing risks, not the register of specific risks. It is tempting because risk management is integral to project success, and in a scenario where the question asked for outputs of the risk management process, the risk register would be correct.

  • Cost baseline

    Why this is correct

    The cost baseline is part of the plan.
