Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: D
Explanation
A project scope statement is best described as a document that focuses on the definition of all required work, and only the required work, to create the project's deliverables. The document that gives the project manager authority to move forward with the project and assign task resources is a project charter and is an incorrect response. A document that gives the project deliverables a description is incorrect because it describes the product, not the scope. The planning and execution of all required work so it may be delivered to the customer is an incorrect response because it does not define the project scope as thoroughly as the correct response does.Discussion
