CAPM Practice Question

Coordinating the development of the project management plan by consolidating the subsidiary plans for scope, schedule, cost, quality, resource, communications, risk, procurement, and stakeholder engagement is the core activity of project integration management during planning. This ensures that the individual plans are aligned and work together as a cohesive whole. Drafting a project charter belongs to the initiating process group, creating the work breakdown structure is part of scope management, and Control Quality-the process that verifies deliverables meet requirements-occurs in the Monitoring and Controlling process group, not during execution. Therefore, consolidating the subsidiary plans into an integrated project management plan is the only action that directly addresses the need for overall coordination.
