I would choose 3) Initiation. The questions asks for "process management process" (initate, plan, excute, m&c, close). SMEs (subject matter experts) are utilized in expert judgement, which is a tool and technique of Create Project Charter Process.

 I agree

Initiation would be the process and the answer. The clue to the answer is given in the question "when is it FIRST used". SME's come in to define the scope in the 

To prevent Scope creep you need SME's to verify at a later point

In PMBOK pg 77 4.1.2.1 Expert Judgement to Develop Project Charter

In PMBOK pg 107 5.1.2.2 Subject Matter Experts are used to Collect Requirements.

good question.

This question is very old , of year 2000 and back.


my question is why you referring so old stuff.


while taking any question bank -get confirmed of its relevancy.


------------------------


why it is old----- initiation is not a process, not a process group.


like scope planning, scope definition and also scope verification, nothing is any process of edition 4.


and if you want proof-- see p 376 -- pmbok ed 4.

2 & 3 are not processes. 1 is done in the end when handing over the product to the customer. Hence 4 which as per PMBOK 4 is now "Define Scope" process.
