CompTIA Project+ (PK0-004) — Question 496

Gas prices were included in the cost baseline for a transportation and hauling project. Although the estimates used to create the baseline were based on historical data, which of the following should the project manager consider as a root cause for potential issues with cost overruns?

Answer options

• A. Requirements
• B. Lessons learned
• C. Budget
• D. Environment

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as the budget directly affects the overall project cost and is crucial for managing potential overruns. While requirements, lessons learned, and environment factors are important, they do not directly pertain to the financial constraints and adjustments related to gas prices.
