A project manager is leading the "Develop Project Management Plan" process, which involves consolidating the various subsidiary plans and baselines. What is the primary purpose of this consolidation effort?
To create a single, coherent, and comprehensive document that guides project execution, control, and closure by integrating all planning outputs.
To finalize the project charter and secure formal authorization from the project sponsor.
To streamline the project by identifying and eliminating redundant tasks, which always results in a reduced project scope.
To replace the need for individual subsidiary plans, such as the risk management or scope management plans.
The primary purpose of consolidating project plans into the main Project Management Plan is to create a comprehensive, integrated document that will guide all aspects of the project. This plan ensures alignment among subsidiary plans (like scope, schedule, and cost), addresses dependencies, and provides a baseline for project control. While this process might identify redundancies, which could potentially reduce activities, it could also uncover gaps, which would require that new activities be added. The project charter is an input to this process, not an outcome. The consolidated plan integrates, rather than replaces, the detailed subsidiary plans.
