CompTIA Project+ (PK0-004) — Question 420

The key stakeholders have reported the project pace as being slow. The project sponsor would like to cancel the project if it cannot be completed before the end of the year. The project is scheduled to be completed three months after the requested date.
To alter the pace of the project, which of the following should the project manager do FIRST?

Answer options

• A. Give approval for the change requested by the project sponsor.
• B. Deny the request from the project sponsor.
• C. Document the change request from the project sponsor.
• D. Ask the project sponsor to change the request.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because documenting the change request is essential for understanding the implications of the sponsor's request and for further discussion. Options A and B involve making decisions without first assessing the situation, which is premature. Option D suggests asking for a modification without first ensuring the request is properly documented and considered.
