During the initiation phase, a project manager needs to define the project's inclusions and exclusions to set clear boundaries. Which document should the project manager create to achieve this?
The preliminary scope statement is created during the initiation phase to outline what the project will and will not include. This helps in setting clear boundaries and prevents scope creep. The project charter authorizes the project and provides high-level objectives but doesn't detail specific inclusions and exclusions. The risk management plan and communication plan are developed later during the planning phase and serve different purposes.
