Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) — Question 209

A project manager is assigned to a project, and the sponsor signals to perform first actions. However, the project manager is unsure how to apply organizational resources into project activities before a formal authorization.

Which document should be used in this case?

Answer options

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is the Project charter, as it formally authorizes the project and provides the project manager with the authority to utilize organizational resources. The Business case outlines the justification for the project but does not grant authority. The Project plan is a detailed roadmap for project execution that is created after authorization, and the Budget requirement outlines the financial needs but is not a formal authorization document.
