PK0-005 Practice Question: Which TWO documents are commonly used to define…
Which TWO documents are commonly used to define and control project scope? (Choose two.)
⚠ Common exam trap
CompTIA often tests the distinction between the project charter (which authorizes the project) and the scope statement (which defines the detailed scope), leading candidates to incorrectly select the charter as a scope definition document.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Work breakdown structure (WBS)
The work breakdown structure (WBS) is a deliverable-oriented decomposition of the project scope into smaller, manageable components, providing a common framework for scope definition and control. The scope statement formally documents the project scope, including deliverables, assumptions, and constraints, serving as the baseline against which scope changes are evaluated. Both documents are essential for establishing and maintaining scope boundaries throughout the project lifecycle.
