CompTIA Project+ (PK0-004) — Question 311

A project sponsor requests an urgent change to the project scope that positively impacts the performance of the end product. Which of the following should the project manager do FIRST?

Answer options

• A. Ask the stakeholder to submit a change request.
• B. Document the change and notify the stakeholders.
• C. Change the project schedule with new estimates.
• D. Notify the project team to prioritize the change.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct action is to ask the stakeholder to submit a change request, as this formalizes the request and ensures proper documentation and approval processes are followed. Simply documenting the change without a formal request may lead to confusion about the authority and approval of the change. Changing the project schedule or notifying the team without a formal request could lead to misalignment and scope creep.
