CompTIA Project+ (PK0-004) — Question 99

A stakeholder with whom the project manager has worked on numerous occasions drops by and requests that the project management add two small items to the application under development. The stakeholder has seen the value of these changes in other applications and assures the project manager they are easy, quick changes. Which of the following BEST describes how the project manager should respond?

Answer options

• A. Take the request to the CCB
• B. Quickly make the changes
• C. Ask a project team member to make the changes
• D. Inform the sponsor of the stakeholder's request

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The best response is to take the request to the CCB (Change Control Board) because formal processes should be followed for any changes to project scope. Quickly making the changes or asking a team member to do so bypasses necessary approvals and could lead to scope creep. Informing the sponsor is also important, but it does not address the need for a structured change management process.
