CompTIA Project+ (PK0-004) — Question 148

A new stakeholder has joined the project team and requested modifications that will result in minor changes to the project budget and schedule.
The project manager is concerned that the requests will lead to:

Answer options

• A. quality control issues.
• B. additional risks.
• C. scope creep.
• D. time constraints.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, scope creep, which refers to the uncontrolled changes or continuous growth in a project's scope without adjustments to time, cost, and resources. While quality control issues, additional risks, and time constraints can arise from changes, they are not the direct result of minor modifications to the project scope, making scope creep the most relevant concern in this context.
