CompTIA Project+ (PK0-004) — Question 549

A project team is currently three weeks behind in a project with six more weeks to go. Although the project manager believes the project can be fast tracked to save a week, this is not the case.
Which of the following represents the slack along the critical path?

Answer options

• A. גˆ’3 weeks
• B. גˆ’2 weeks
• C. 0 weeks
• D. 2 weeks
• E. 3 weeks

Correct answer: E

Explanation

The correct answer is E, as the slack along the critical path is determined by the total time available minus the time needed to complete tasks. In this case, with the project already three weeks behind and no additional time to recover, the slack remains at 3 weeks. The other options incorrectly suggest negative slack or insufficient time remaining.
