What document contains information on external goods or resources for a project?

• A. A procurement document
• B. The project scope
• C. The risk register
• D. The stakeholder management plan

Answer: (A)

The key idea here is how you obtain items or services from outside the organization to meet project needs. Information about external goods or resources—the what, how, and from whom to procure them, including specifications, terms, and supplier arrangements—is captured in procurement documents. These documents guide how external purchases are planned, sourced, and contracted, ensuring the project gets the right materials or services from the right vendors.

In contrast, the project scope describes what the project will deliver and its boundaries, not how outside resources are obtained. The risk register lists identified risks and responses, not the details of external purchases. The stakeholder management plan outlines how to engage with people involved or affected, not the specifics of external procurement.
