CompTIA Project+ (PK0-004) — Question 31

A project has fallen behind schedule for no obvious reason, so the PM has gathered the team to brainstorm. Which of the following should the PM do NEXT?

Answer options

• A. Go over the meetings objectives and agenda.
• B. Brief the team on which tasks have fallen behind schedule and where the project has slack.
• C. Refer to the risk register to map the risks to issues and mitigation strategies.
• D. Review the issue log with the project team and identify potential risks.
• E. Review an Ishikawa diagram with the project team to determine possible causes and effects.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because it focuses on identifying specific tasks that are falling behind and understanding where slack exists, which is essential for realigning the project. The other options, while potentially useful in broader contexts, do not directly address the immediate need to understand the current project status and its timeline issues.
