CompTIA Project+ (PK0-004) — Question 456

A number of requirements, conflicts, and reworks during a project delayed the schedule, increased the budget, and required replanning efforts.
Which of the following is MOST likely the cause?

Answer options

• A. There were not enough resources assigned to the project execution team.
• B. The PMO was not involved in project initiation and planning.
• C. Proper team-building activities were not performed when starting the project.
• D. A few major stakeholders were overlooked during project initiation and planning.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because the involvement of the PMO in project initiation and planning is crucial for aligning project objectives with organizational goals and ensuring adequate resource allocation. If the PMO is absent, it can lead to miscommunication and lack of direction, causing delays and budget overruns. The other options, while they may contribute to project issues, do not directly address the overarching governance and planning oversight that the PMO provides.
