Program Management Professional (PgMP) — Question 260

You are the project manager for your organization and are working with the project stakeholders and the business analyst to define all of the deliverables the project is to create. The stakeholders would like the option of adding more deliverables later in the project and keeping the requirements somewhat open for changes. You explain to the business analyst that you need a set of requirements that define exactly what needs to be delivered for the project. What document are you trying to create in this early stage of the project?

Answer options

• A. Requirements technical documentation
• B. Project scope statement
• C. Project charter
• D. Detail design document

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, the Project scope statement, which outlines the project's deliverables and defines what is included and excluded from the project. The other options, while important, do not serve the purpose of clearly defining the scope of deliverables like the project scope statement does. For example, the project charter (C) provides high-level overview and authorization, while detail design documents (D) focus on design specifics.
