A project manager is leading a complex project with multiple teams developing subsidiary plans for scope, schedule, and cost. During the 'Develop Project Management Plan' process, the project manager brings these plans together. What is the primary purpose of consolidating these plans and assessing them for overlaps and inconsistencies?
To create the initial project charter for stakeholder approval.
To accelerate the project schedule by removing non-critical tasks from the baseline.
To ensure all components of the project plan are aligned and to identify potential conflicts or gaps between them.
To present the final project performance report to the project sponsor.
The correct answer is that consolidating plans aims to ensure alignment and identify conflicts. This integration step is crucial for creating a single, coherent, and consistent project management plan that guides execution and control. Creating a project charter occurs earlier in the project lifecycle. Accelerating the schedule is a specific strategy (schedule compression) and not the primary goal of plan integration. Reporting final performance is a closing activity, not a planning one.
