Amy works as a project manager for BlueWell Inc. Her organization wants her to create a new
warehouse. Which of the following documents will she create to define the business needs, the
project justification, and the current requirements?

A.
Project scope

B.
Feasibility study

C.
Project charter

D.
Work breakdown structure

Explanation:
The project charter defines the business needs, the project justification, and the current
requirements for the new warehouse that an organization wants to create. The project charter is
the document that formally authorizes a project. The project charter provides the project manager
with the authority to apply organizational resources to project activities. According to PMBOK
Guide, the project charter should address the following information: Requirements that satisfy
customer, sponsor, and other stakeholder needs, wants and expectations Business needs, high-level project description, or product requirements that the project is undertaken to address Project
purpose or justification Assigned Project Manager and authority level Summary milestone
schedule Stakeholder influences Functional organizations and their participation Organizational,
environmental and external assumptions Organizational, environmental and external constraints
Business case justifying the project, including return on investment Summary budget If required, it
also authorizes the next project phase, and updates the charter. The project manager should
always be assigned prior to the start of planning, and preferably while the project charter is being
developed.
Answer option A is incorrect. The decomposition of the project scope results in the project’s Work
Breakdown Structure (WBS). The work packages of the WBS will help the project manager and
team create accurate time and cost estimates.
Answer option B is incorrect. The feasibility study is usually created before the project scope,
though not always. This document defines the likelihood of the project being able to reach its
objectives.
Answer option D is incorrect. The project scope defines all that the project should complete.
