CompTIA Project+ (PK0-004) — Question 495

A subcontractor has submitted design documentation on the deliverable due date, but it will require rework. The activity is on the critical path of the project schedule. Which of the following should the project manager do NEXT?

Answer options

• A. Determine the expected duration of the rework and complete a charge request to modify the project baselines.
• B. Notify the project sponsor to schedule and facilitate a team meeting to rework the design documentation.
• C. Determine the expected duration of the rework with any associated quality control activities and add the duration to an updated version of the WBS.
• D. Update the master project schedule, and distribute it all stakeholders in accordance with the project communications plan.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because determining the expected duration of the rework is crucial for managing project timelines, and modifying the project baselines is necessary to reflect these changes. Option B is incorrect as notifying the sponsor does not directly address the immediate need for rework assessment. Option C, while relevant, does not prioritize adjusting the baselines, and option D focuses on updating the schedule without addressing the rework duration first.
