Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) — Question 225

A project is delivering an integrated solution to an external client on a fixed-price contract. The project has a significant technical component and has a dedicated technical project manager working with a business program manager and the client's project manager. The technical lead is requesting two new developers.

Which plan should the project manager use to identify who is responsible for finding the budget for additional developers?

Answer options

• A. Business management plan
• B. Resource management plan
• C. Cost management plan
• D. Stakeholder engagement plan

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as the Resource management plan outlines how resources, including personnel, are allocated and funded. The other options do not specifically address the identification of budget responsibilities for additional resources; the Business management plan focuses on overall business strategies, the Cost management plan deals with cost estimation and budgeting, and the Stakeholder engagement plan pertains to managing stakeholder relationships.
