PMP Exam Sample Q and A
Image
You have just been assigned as the project manager for an ongoing project in your company. You have discovered there is no Project Charter that describes the responsibilities and authorities of the project manager. When you talked to your project sponsor about this issue he told you that nobody in the company even knows what a Project Charter is or what purpose it serves. He also told you that your company has executed numerous projects in the past without ever using a Project Charter. However, he asked you to prepare one just in case it is really a necessary project document. Where should you look for a Project Charter template to update in order to meet your project requirements?

A) Project Business Case    
B) Enterprise Environmental Factors    
C) Project Statement of Work    
D) Organizational Process Assets

Hint: Your organization has never created a Project Charter in the past, so you must find a Project Charter template to update in order to create a Project Charter
for your project.
