Sanjay Hwang is reviewing planning artifacts for an aircraft maintenance project at Crosswind Aviation. Match each planning component on the left with its correct description on the right. Items: 1. Project Management Plan 2. Product Management Plan 3. Risk Register 4. Stakeholder Register Which option correctly matches each item to its description?
Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: 1. Project Management Plan → Defines how the project will be executed, monitored, and controlled 2. Product Management Plan → Describes the product's features, lifecycle, support requirements, and ongoing maintenance 3. Risk Register → Documents identified risks, their probability, impact, and planned responses 4. Stakeholder Register → Lists individuals or groups affected by the project along with their interests and engagement levels

Explanation

The Project Management Plan focuses on HOW the project work will be managed (processes, baselines, subsidiary plans). The Product Management Plan addresses the product itself—its features, lifecycle, and post-delivery support. The Risk Register is the tool for tracking identified risks and response strategies. The Stakeholder Register catalogs who has an interest in the project and how to engage them effectively.

**Why not A:** This option incorrectly assigns the project management plan to describing product features (which belongs to the product management plan) and the product management plan to documenting risks (which belongs to the risk register). The core distinction between managing the project versus managing the product is reversed.

**Why not B:** This option incorrectly assigns the project management plan to stakeholder information (which belongs to the stakeholder register) and the stakeholder register to project execution management (which belongs to the project management plan). Multiple pairings are swapped.

**Why not D:** This option incorrectly assigns the project management plan to risk documentation (which belongs to the risk register), the product management plan to stakeholder information (which belongs to the stakeholder register), the risk register to project execution (which belongs to the project management plan), and the stakeholder register to product features (which belongs to the product management plan). All four pairings are wrong.
