Which TWO documents are typically created during the project initiation phase? (Select TWO.)
⚠ Common exam trap

The project charter is a key document created during project initiation that formally authorizes the project and provides the project manager with the authority to apply organizational resources to project activities. The stakeholder register is also created during initiation to identify all individuals, groups, or organizations that may impact or be impacted by the project, capturing their interests, expectations, and influence levels.
