CompTIA Project+ (PK0-004) — Question 179

If a project sponsor wants to know the current status and progress of a project, which of the following is the BEST approach to find this information?

Answer options

• A. The project sponsor should obtain the current status from team members, put it into a presentation, and present it to the project manager for review.
• B. The scheduler should obtain the current status from team members, apply it to the baseline of the schedule, and run a report.
• C. The scheduler should obtain the current status from team members, update the project charter, project management plan, dashboard, and SOW, and then create a status report to provide to the project manager.
• D. The scheduler should obtain the current status from team members, update the risk register, and provide the information to the project champion for review.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Option B is correct because it specifies that the scheduler will directly apply the current status to the baseline of the schedule, providing an accurate and structured report. The other options involve unnecessary steps or reporting to individuals who are not best positioned to assess project progress, such as the project manager or project champion.
