CompTIA Project+ (PK0-004) — Question 7

A part that is needed to complete Task 3 has been backordered and will arrive three days later than scheduled. Task 3 must be complete for Task 4 to start. There is one day of float for the two tasks. Which of the following represents the number of days the project schedule will be delayed?

Answer options

• A. Zero
• B. One
• C. Two
• D. Three

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because with a three-day delay for Task 3 and only one day of float available, the project will be delayed by two additional days. Task 4 cannot start until Task 3 is complete, leading to a total of three days of delay in the project schedule.
