Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) — Question 198

A project manager is creating a project charter to provide a direct link between the project and the organization's strategic objectives. What must be considered when creating this document?

Answer options

• A. High-level requirements and the project team
• B. Key stakeholder list and contingency reserve
• C. Detailed milestone schedule and project objectives
• D. Project purpose and high-level project description

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because a project charter needs to clearly articulate the project's purpose and provide a high-level overview to ensure alignment with strategic objectives. Options A, B, and C focus on specifics that, while important, do not directly establish the connection to the organization's broader goals.
