CompTIA Project+ (PK0-004) — Question 69

A project has a ׀’׀׀¡ of $850,000. The project manager has identified and documented that certain key applications were not included in the scope management plan. As reported, the CPI is 0.8, and the PMO allows only a 5% additional increment to the planned budget. Which of the following should the project manager do
NEXT?

Answer options

• A. Add the required work to complete the project behind $892,500.
• B. Evaluate the impact and justify adding new work to the project.
• C. Obtain approval from the CCB.
• D. Request a budget increase of $170,000.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because obtaining approval from the CCB is essential for any changes to the project scope or budget. Options A and D do not follow the proper channels for managing project changes, and B, while a good step, does not address the immediate need for formal approval.
