CompTIA Project+ (PK0-004) — Question 392

The project sponsor has cut the resources required for project completion. The project manager cannot complete the project without additional resources.
Which of the following should the project manager do to obtain the resources?

Answer options

• A. The project manager should identify and document the reasons for the additional resources in a change request.
• B. The project manager should hire additional resources temporarily to complete the project.
• C. The project manager should terminate the project until additional resources are added to the project.
• D. The project manager should ask the project team members to take on more tasks to complete the project on time.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because submitting a change request with documented reasons is a formal process to request additional resources. Options B and C are not advisable as they do not follow the proper project management protocols, while option D could lead to burnout among team members and may not solve the resource issue.
