Which outputs are produced by Plan Procurements?

• A. Procurement Management Plan and Procurement Documents
• B. Plan Procurements Report and Contract Statements
• C. Resource Calendar and Procurement Strategy
• D. Procurement Schedules and Vendor Contracts

Answer: (A)

In Plan Procurements, you lay out how all procurement activities will be managed and what documents will guide the process. The main outputs are the Procurement Management Plan, which describes how procurement will be planned, executed, and controlled—covering roles, responsibilities, timing, processes, and rules for procurement throughout the project—and Procurement Documentation, the set of documents you’ll use to solicit offers from sellers (such as RFPs, RFQs, or ITBs, along with the requirements and evaluation criteria you’ll publish). Other items listed don’t come from Plan Procurements. A procurement-related report or statements aren’t standard outputs of this planning step, and items like a Resource Calendar, Procurement Schedule, or Vendor Contracts are associated with later stages of the procurement lifecycle or with other processes (for example, contracts are formed after selecting a supplier). The two outputs above capture the planning and solicitation documents you prepare at this stage, which is why they are the best fit.
