CompTIA Project+ (PK0-004) — Question 211

A project manager has received documented approval from management to begin a project and the authority to start assigning resources to the project.
The project manager has received the:

Answer options

• A. project charter.
• B. statement of work.
• C. project plan.
• D. project request.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The project charter is the document that officially authorizes the project and grants the project manager the authority to allocate resources. The statement of work outlines the project's deliverables and scope but does not provide authorization. The project plan is a detailed outline of how the project will be executed, while the project request is merely a proposal to initiate a project, not an approval.
