Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: 1. Risk Register → Documents identified risks, their analysis, and response strategies 2. Stakeholder Register → Identifies stakeholders and their interests, influence, and engagement requirements 3. Project Management Plan → Defines how the project will be executed, monitored, and controlled 4. Product Management Plan → Describes the features, specifications, and lifecycle of the product being delivered

Explanation

The risk register captures all identified risks along with their probability, impact, and planned responses. The stakeholder register identifies all stakeholders with details about their requirements, expectations, and how to engage them. The project management plan is the comprehensive document that describes how the project will be managed across all knowledge areas. The product management plan focuses specifically on the deliverable itself—its features, specifications, and how it will be maintained or evolved after project completion. Understanding the distinction between managing the project (temporary endeavor) versus managing the product (ongoing result) is fundamental to CAPM knowledge.

**Why not A:** This option incorrectly assigns the risk register to product features and lifecycle (which belongs to the product management plan) and the product management plan to risk documentation (which belongs to the risk register). These two descriptions are swapped.

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

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