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.
