CompTIA Project+ (PK0-004) — Question 423

During the first several months of effort, a project manager reported all metrics at green status. However, during the most recent gate check, many metrics declined to red. Which of the following is the MOST likely reason the project manager was unable to predict the decline?

Answer options

• A. The SWOT analysis was not performed during planning.
• B. The KPIs did not contain the required detail.
• C. The RACI matrix was not followed.
• D. The estimated task durations in the WBS were incorrect.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because not following the RACI matrix can lead to unclear roles and responsibilities, which may result in overlooked issues that could affect metrics. Options A and B could contribute to poor planning but do not directly account for the inability to predict the decline, while D addresses task estimations, which is not the primary reason for failing to monitor metrics effectively.
