HINT: The Initiating Process Group has been completed, and the Planning Process Group is about to

Question

3. The correct answer is B
The question states that project planning is about to begin which suggests that project initiation
has been completed. The project charter is created during the Develop Project Charter process as
part of project initiation. The project team uses the project charter as a starting point for initial
project planning. The type and amount of information in the project charter varies depending on
the complexity of the project and the information known at the time of its creation. At a
minimum, the project charter should define the high-level information about the project that will
be elaborated in the various components of the project management plan.
