CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 260

A Chief Executive Officer and a network administrator came to an agreement with a vendor to purchase new equipment for the data center. A document was drafted so all parties would be informed about the scope of the project before it started. Which of the following terms BEST describes the document used?

Answer options

• A. Contract
• B. Project charter
• C. Memorandum of understanding
• D. Non-disclosure agreement

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is 'Memorandum of understanding' because it signifies an agreement that outlines the intentions and scope of a project among parties. A contract is more formal and legally binding, a project charter defines project objectives and stakeholders, while a non-disclosure agreement focuses on confidentiality, not project scope.
