On a municipal runway-lighting upgrade, how should a new associate distinguish the project charter, the project management plan, and work performance data?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Three different jobs, three different docs. The charter says you may start; the plan says how you will run it; work performance data are what actually happened in the field. Mixing them up is like confusing a driver’s license with a roadmap and the odometer reading.
Full Explanation
The project charter provides authorization and high-level direction. The project management plan defines how the work will be executed, monitored, and controlled. Work performance data are raw actuals collected during execution; they are not the authorizing document or the management approach.
