Team plans are created by the team manager during the Managing Product Delivery process.

Answer analysis

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

✗
Managing a Stage Boundary
Why it's wrong here
Team plans are produced during Managing a Stage Boundary only when preparing the next stage, not as the process's defining output. Authorising a Work Package is where team plans are typically created, alongside the Work Package itself.
✗
Initiating a Project
Why it's wrong here
Team plans are produced by the team manager during Managing a Stage Boundary, when the next stage's products and resources are planned. Initiating a Project creates the project plan and project initiation documentation instead. It is tempting because initiation establishes overall governance and planning approach, but no delivery teams exist yet to plan for.
✗
Directing a Project
Why it's wrong here
Directing a Project covers the board's decisions and delegations, not the creation of team plans, which the team manager drafts during Managing a Stage Boundary. It is tempting because the board authorises the project and stage boundaries, but authorisation differs from the planning activity itself, which sits with the team manager.
✓
Managing Product Delivery
Why this is correct
Team plans are produced within Managing Product Delivery, where the Team Manager plans and controls the work assigned by the Project Manager. This satisfies the stem's constraint by placing plan creation at the delivery level, distinct from Initiating a Project or Managing a Stage Boundary, where higher-level plans are developed.
