CompTIA Project+ (PK0-004) — Question 16

The project schedule performance index is 1.1, and the cost performance index is 0.9. Which of the following describes the project status?

Answer options

• A. Ahead of schedule and over budget
• B. Behind schedule and under budget
• C. Ahead of schedule and under budget
• D. Behind schedule and over budget

Correct answer: A

Explanation

A project schedule performance index (SPI) of 1.1 indicates that the project is ahead of schedule, while a cost performance index (CPI) of 0.9 suggests that the project is over budget. This means the project is progressing faster than planned but costing more, which corresponds to option A. The other options do not accurately reflect the combination of SPI and CPI values provided.
