CompTIA Project+ (PK0-004) — Question 78

A company engaged a third-party audit firm to provide regular financial oversight for regulatory compliance and requested a project manager to work with the firm.
The PMO declines to assign a project manager and refers to another department within the company. Which of the following is MOST likely the reason for this?

Answer options

• A. There are not enough project managers available for additional work
• B. The work does not align with the strategic objectives of the organization
• C. This is ongoing work the vendor has been hired to perform
• D. The third party has a reputation for expertise in this area

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The reason the PMO did not assign a project manager is likely because the third-party vendor is recognized for its proficiency in financial oversight, making the need for a project manager less critical. Options A and B suggest resource limitations or misalignment with strategic goals, which are not the primary factors here. Option C implies the work is already being managed by the vendor, but the emphasis on their expertise is the key reason.
