PMI Exam PMI-SP Topic 8 Question 26 Discussion

The communications management plan needs to be updated whenever there is a

change in the frequency, type, or audience of

communication.

The communication management plan is a document that contains information that is required by

the stakeholders. It also documents when

and how the information should be distributed. It describes the information delivery needs, its

format and level of detail. The communication

management plan is contained in or is a subsidiary of the project management plan.

Answer option D is incorrect. The project management plan is a collection of subsidiary plans,

including the communications management plan.

Answer option A is incorrect. The scope of the project is not being changed in this example, so there

is no need to update the plan.

Answer option B is incorrect. There is no plan by the name of performance management plan, so this

choice is incorrect.
