What is the written, project-specific plan outlining the project's scope, organization, and specific approach that the Construction Manager will undertake to accomplish the various management tasks for the project?

• A. Construction Management Plan
• B. Project Management Plan
• C. Project Management
• D. Construction Management

Answer: (A)

A Construction Management Plan is the written, project-specific plan that defines the scope, organization, and the Construction Manager's approach to carrying out the management tasks for the project. It serves as the CM’s explicit guide to how the work will be organized, who is responsible for what, and the methods for coordinating with the owner and subcontractors, as well as the procedures for safety, quality, cost control, schedule management, and risk management. This makes it the best fit because it directly addresses the Construction Manager’s plan for accomplishing the management tasks on the project. In contrast, a Project Management Plan covers broader project management activities in general, not specifically the construction-management tasks. The other two options refer to the discipline itself or to a general term, not to the specific written plan guiding construction management.
