CompTIA Project+ (PK0-004) — Question 184

A new project sponsor has joined the project team, and the constraints on the project have been reprioritized. The project cost was previously the most important factor, but the new sponsor has indicated that meeting a new, shorter deadline is the priority.
Which of the following effects is this MOST likely to have on the project?

Answer options

• A. The deliverables and quality will remain the same, but the cost will increase.
• B. The deliverables and quality will remain the same, but the cost will decrease.
• C. The deliverables and cost will remain the same, but the quality will increase.
• D. The cost and quality will remain the same, but the deliverables will increase.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because when a project deadline is shortened, it often necessitates additional resources or expedited processes, resulting in increased costs while maintaining the same deliverables and quality. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they incorrectly suggest that costs will decrease or that quality will improve without adjustments to resources or deliverables.
