CompTIA Project+ (PK0-004) — Question 471

A project in the execution phase is over budget, and tasks on the critical path are on schedule.
Which of the following should the project manager do NEXT?

Answer options

• A. Update the project management plan.
• B. Issue a change request.
• C. Revise the project charter.
• D. Evaluate the impact to the baseline.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct action is to evaluate the impact to the baseline, as it helps the project manager understand how the over-budget situation affects the project's overall plan. Updating the project management plan, issuing a change request, and revising the project charter are important but should follow after assessing the baseline impact.
