A project manager is in the initiation phase of a new project. The project sponsor has requested a document that formally authorizes the project and provides the project manager with the authority to apply organizational resources. Which of the following documents fulfills this purpose?
The correct answer is the Project Charter. The Project Charter is the document issued by the project sponsor that formally authorizes the existence of a project and provides the project manager with the authority to apply organizational resources to project activities. The Project Management Plan is a comprehensive document that details how the project will be executed, monitored, and controlled; it is developed after the charter is approved. The Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is a hierarchical decomposition of the total scope of work to be carried out by the project team. The Risk Register is a document used to identify, analyze, and manage project risks.
