Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: 1. A key stakeholder is not receiving project updates → Communication management plan 2. A previously identified risk has been triggered → Risk management plan 3. The team discovers scope is unclear for a deliverable → Scope baseline 4. A vendor invoice exceeds the approved amount → Cost baseline

Explanation

Each situation requires consulting the appropriate planned framework: stakeholder communications are managed via the communication management plan, risk responses via the risk management plan, scope clarity via the scope baseline (which includes WBS and scope statement), and budget variances via the cost baseline. This demonstrates how project managers follow and execute planned strategies by referring to the correct documentation.

**Why not B:** This option swaps the communication management plan and cost baseline. A key stakeholder not receiving updates is a communication issue, not a cost issue. A vendor invoice exceeding the approved amount is a cost issue, not a communication issue.

**Why not C:** This option mismatches all four items. Stakeholder update issues should reference the communication plan, not the risk plan. Triggered risks should use the risk plan, not the scope baseline. Unclear scope should use the scope baseline, not the cost baseline. Vendor invoice issues should use the cost baseline, not the communication plan.

**Why not D:** This option incorrectly assigns all four situations to the wrong frameworks. Stakeholder updates relate to communication, not scope. Triggered risks relate to risk management, not cost. Unclear scope relates to the scope baseline, not communication. Vendor invoice issues relate to the cost baseline, not risk management.
