A project manager is compiling the Project Management Plan for a complex software integration project. Which of the following components would typically NOT be included as a subsidiary plan within the Project Management Plan itself, but rather as a separate project document?
- ARisk Management Plan
- BScope Management Plan
- CCommunications Management Plan
- DStakeholder Register
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: D. Stakeholder Register
The Project Management Plan integrates various subsidiary plans (like scope, risk, communications management plans). The Stakeholder Register, while a crucial input and output of several processes, is typically considered a separate project document, not a subsidiary plan of the PMP.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. The Risk Management Plan is a key subsidiary plan of the Project Management Plan.
- B. The Scope Management Plan is a key subsidiary plan of the Project Management Plan.
- C. The Communications Management Plan is a key subsidiary plan of the Project Management Plan.
Project Management Plan Components
The Project Management Plan is a comprehensive document that integrates all subsidiary plans, while other project information is stored in separate project documents.
- PMP is comprehensive and integrated.
- Subsidiary plans are part of the PMP.
- Project documents are separate from the PMP.
Memory trick: PMP is the master plan, subsidiary plans fit inside, documents are separate files.
