CompTIA Project+ (PK0-004) — Question 416

A project team member highlights to the project manager that expensive licensing for critical software in use across the project may expire before the completion project.
Which of the following would the project manager MOST likely do?

Answer options

• A. Place a risk on the risk register and arrange a risk review with the appropriate stakeholders to accept and/or mitigate the risk.
• B. Raise a purchase order to purchase the licensing and ask the team member to install it.
• C. Amend the project scope and raise a project change request to obtain approval of the amendment.
• D. Amend the project schedule and work breakdown structures to remove the use of the software from the project.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because placing a risk on the risk register and reviewing it with stakeholders is a proactive approach to managing potential issues. Options B, C, and D do not address the risk of license expiration adequately, as they involve either immediate purchases, scope changes, or removing essential software rather than managing the risk itself.
