Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Authorize Work Packages
Why this is correct
The PM authorizes work packages in CS.
- ✓
Review the progress of work packages
Why this is correct
The PM monitors progress via Checkpoint and other reports.
- ✗
Produce the Project Plan
Why it's wrong here
Producing the Project Plan is a responsibility of the Initiating a Project process, not the Controlling a Stage process, which focuses on monitoring progress and managing issues against the existing stage plan. It is tempting because the Project Manager does create plans, but the Project Plan is produced once during initiation to define the overall project scope and timeline, whereas Controlling a Stage handles day-to-day execution and corrective actions within an approved stage.
- ✗
Produce the Stage Plan for the next stage
Why it's wrong here
Next stage plan is produced in Managing a Stage Boundary.
- ✓
Manage issues and risks
Why this is correct
The PM manages issues and risks throughout the stage.
