CAPM Business Analysis Frameworks Practice Question
Which TWO of the following are outputs of the requirements management process?
⚠ Common exam trap
PMI often tests the distinction between outputs of the Collect Requirements process (requirements documentation and requirements traceability matrix) and outputs of the Define Scope process (project scope statement), leading candidates to mistakenly select the project scope statement as an output of requirements management.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Requirements management plan
The requirements management process produces the requirements management plan and the requirements traceability matrix as its key outputs. The requirements management plan defines how requirements will be collected, analyzed, documented, and managed throughout the project, while the requirements traceability matrix links each requirement to its origin, design, testing, and delivery. These are the formal outputs specified in the PMBOK Guide for the Collect Requirements process.
