CompTIA Project+ (PK0-004) — Question 358

A critical project team member has fallen ill and must take leave for two weeks. The project manager recognizes this will affect the product release, but the sponsor mandates the product must go live on the date marketing published. Which of the following is the BEST response?

Answer options

• A. Tell the project team they need to pick up the extra work to complete the product.
• B. Tell the testing team to only test what is most critical within the product.
• C. Reduce the training time for operational staff to support the product.
• D. Reduce the features being released and produce iterative deliverables later to add features.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because reducing the features and delivering iterative updates allows the team to meet the release deadline while ensuring quality. Options A, B, and C do not address the underlying issue of resource availability and may compromise the project's overall success and quality.
