CompTIA Project+ (PK0-004) — Question 123

During a project, a key stakeholder asks a project team member to add a requirement. The team member adds the requirement without informing the project manager. Which of the following is described in this scenario?

Answer options

• A. Change request
• B. Risk mitigation
• C. Change control
• D. Scope creep

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as scope creep refers to the uncontrolled expansion of project scope without adjustments to time, cost, and resources. The other options do not apply because a change request is a formal process, risk mitigation involves strategies to reduce risks, and change control is the process of managing changes systematically.
