Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Work Package
Why this is correct
The Project Manager creates a Work Package to assign work during Controlling a Stage. It defines the description, tolerances, reporting requirements and constraints agreed with the Team Manager, authorising delivery of an agreed portion of the Stage Plan.
- ✗
Team Plan
Why it's wrong here
A Team Plan is produced by the Team Manager when planning a work package, not by the Project Manager during Controlling a Stage. It tempts because team-level planning is genuinely part of authorising work, and would be the right artefact when a Team Manager plans their assigned work package.
- ✗
Project Plan
Why it's wrong here
The Project Plan is created during Initiating a Project and updated at stage boundaries, not produced to assign work within a stage. It tempts because it governs overall delivery, and would be the correct artefact when defining the project's overall approach before the project starts.
- ✗
Product Description
Why it's wrong here
A Product Description defines a product's purpose, composition, quality criteria and derivation; it does not assign work to a team. It tempts because products underpin work packages, and would be correct when specifying what a product must be before planning its delivery.
