CompTIA Project+ (PK0-004) — Question 15

A project manager does not have enough time to complete several tasks on a critical path. The budget is a low concern. Which of the following should be used to complete the tasks on time?

Answer options

• A. Fast-track the tasks.
• B. Utilize positive float.
• C. Crash the schedule.
• D. Remove the critical path

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Fast-tracking the tasks involves overlapping activities or performing them in parallel, which is effective for meeting tight deadlines on a critical path. Utilizing positive float is not relevant here as it refers to the amount of time that a task can be delayed without affecting the project deadline, and crashing the schedule typically involves increasing costs, which is contrary to the low budget concern. Removing the critical path is not feasible as it would undermine the project's timeline.
