Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) — Question 256

An organization is starting a new project. The project manager asked the project management office (PMO) manager which template would be the most useful to start the project fast and increase the likelihood of success.

Which of the following templates meets these needs?

Answer options

• A. Work breakdown structure (WBS)
• B. Risk breakdown structure
• C. Project management plan
• D. Request for information

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The Project Management Plan is crucial as it outlines the project's scope, objectives, and the strategies for achieving success, thus facilitating a quick start. The Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) and Risk Breakdown Structure are important tools, but they do not provide the comprehensive framework needed to kick off the project effectively. A Request for Information is not a template for project planning and doesn't aid in project execution.
