CompTIA Project+ (PK0-004) — Question 363

A project manager is notified of a natural disaster that may occur during an active project's execution. Which of the following is the BEST option to maintain budget and scope?

Answer options

• A. Contract a business continuity firm to provide for relocation.
• B. Accept that the disaster may alter deliverable quality.
• C. Secure an insurance policy in the event a disaster occurs.
• D. Build lag into the schedule to accommodate average time lost.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Option A is the best choice because contracting a business continuity firm will help ensure that necessary measures are taken to protect both the budget and scope during the disaster. The other options do not proactively address the potential impact on the project; for instance, accepting quality changes (B) or relying on insurance (C) does not prevent issues from arising, while building lag into the schedule (D) only addresses time, not budget or scope.
