PK0-005 Tools and Documentation Practice Question
Which TWO documents are typically created during project initiation?
⚠ Common exam trap
CompTIA often tests the distinction between documents created during initiation versus planning, and the trap here is that candidates mistakenly associate the risk register or issue log with initiation because they are common project documents, but they are formally created in later phases.

Project charter
The project charter is created during project initiation to formally authorize the project and provide the project manager with the authority to apply organizational resources. It documents the business case, high-level scope, and key stakeholders, serving as the foundational document for all subsequent planning.
