A project manager is integrating various subsidiary plans, such as the scope, schedule, and cost management plans, into a cohesive project management plan. What is the primary outcome of consolidating these project plans?
It finalizes the project scope, making any further changes impossible without formal re-approval of the entire project charter.
It guarantees project success by aligning all stakeholder expectations from the outset.
It provides a baseline for the project and a comprehensive foundation for identifying dependencies, gaps, and potential conflicts.
It automatically resolves all identified resource conflicts and scheduling overlaps.
The primary outcome of consolidating the various project and phase plans is to create a single, cohesive project management plan. This consolidated plan serves as the comprehensive baseline for the project. It is a crucial step that enables the project manager and team to then assess the plan for dependencies between tasks, gaps in planning, potential conflicts, and to ensure it aligns with the project's business value. The act of consolidation itself does not automatically resolve conflicts or guarantee success; it is the foundation upon which further analysis, monitoring, and control are built.
