Mio Popovic is reviewing the project management plan for a software development project at Basalt Digital. Which component distinguishes this plan from the product management plan?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: The schedule baseline and cost baseline for delivering the project

Explanation

The project management plan contains baselines (scope, schedule, cost) and subsidiary plans that guide how the project will be executed, monitored, and controlled. It focuses on HOW to deliver the project, not WHAT is being built or how it will be marketed after delivery.

**Why not A:** Technical specifications and features describe the product itself, which belongs in the product management plan. The project management plan focuses on how the project will be executed, not what the product will look like.

**Why not B:** A product roadmap showing future enhancements and releases is a product management artifact. It describes the product's evolution beyond the current project, which is outside the scope of the project management plan.

**Why not C:** The marketing strategy for launching the software is a business function that falls outside the project management plan. It relates to product go-to-market activities, which are part of the product management domain.
