Exam CBAP topic 1 question 68 discussion

Project Charters describes all of these, why it is not the answer

All the things listed in question are included in Project Charter not Vision Statement.

The Project Charter is a formal document that defines the business needs, identifies key stakeholders, and outlines the purpose and expected benefits of the project. It serves as the foundation for project planning by authorizing the project and providing high-level information, including: • Business needs or problems the project intends to solve • Key stakeholders and their roles • Project objectives and expected benefits • High-level project description and deliverables This document ensures that everyone involved understands the project’s purpose and intended outcomes.

Vision Statement

Vision Statement is correct as Vision Statement specifically focuses on articulating the business needs, identifying key stakeholders, and describing the positive impact or benefits that the solution will provide. It serves as a guiding document that aligns the project team and stakeholders toward a common understanding of the project's purpose and desired outcomes. Project Charter is not correct as it is a document issued by the project initiator or sponsor that formally authorizes the existence of a project and provides the project manager with the authority to apply organizational resources to project activities. (PMBOK v7). It is an approval document and not usually contain detailed information on project and its benefits. On the other hand, project vision statement, is a document that is a concise, high-level description of the project that states the purpose, and inspires the project team to contribute to the project. (PMBOK)

The solution is Vision Statement: Babok v2 page 94

yes, project Charter is very close but we must answer According to the BABOK

Project Charter word does not exist in V3. You have to answer what BABoK Says and not real-life experience.

I prefer A

A problem or vision statement states the business need, identifies key stakeholders, and briefly describes the positive impact that meeting the business need will have on those stakeholders. (Babok V2 page 94). In Babok V3, it is Change strategy. The change strategy clearly describes the nature of the change in terms of: • context of the change, • identified alternative change strategies, • justification for why a particular change strategy is the best approach, • investment and resources required to work toward the future state, • how the enterprise will realize value after the solution is delivered, • key stakeholders in the change, and • transition states along the way.

BABOK does not mention charter...thus I guess is Vision Statement

This should be Project Charter

has to be Charter

Babok v2 pg 94

D is wrong, A seems closest

Ans C. Solution scope It looks like smith mentioned in the babok v2, 5.4.7

This should be project charter, vision statement defines the Organizational goal
