CompTIA Project+ (PK0-004) — Question 180

A Chief Executive Officer (CEO) has approached a project team member to request a project change.
Which of the following would be the BEST step for the project manager to take to prevent scope creep?

Answer options

• A. Deny the CEO's request.
• B. Implement the project change.
• C. Submit the request to the CCB.
• D. Ask the CEO to follow the communications plan.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The best action for the project manager is to submit the request to the Change Control Board (CCB) to assess the impact of the change on the project. Denying the request outright or implementing changes without proper review could lead to conflicts or unmanaged expectations. Asking the CEO to follow the communications plan may not address the need for formal evaluation of the change request.
