Which of the following document is created first after project is awarded and statement of work is handed over to the project manager?

The work breakdown structure is created during the planning phase after the project charter has been approved and the project scope has been defined.

The WBS dictionary is created after the WBS is developed and provides detailed descriptions of each WBS component, so it comes well after the charter.

The project scope statement is developed during the planning process group and requires the project charter to already exist as a foundational input.

The project charter is the first formal document created during project initiation after the project is awarded and the statement of work is received. It officially authorizes the project, defines high-level objectives and constraints, and gives the project manager the authority to apply organizational resources. All other planning documents such as the WBS, WBS dictionary, and scope statement are created later during the planning process group.
