CompTIA Project+ (PK0-005) — Question 17

The project team determines that software installation can only begin after the desktops have been installed and can be powered on. Which of the following dependencies does this represent?

Answer options

• A. External
• B. Internal
• C. Mandatory
• D. Discretionary

Correct answer: C

Explanation

This is a Mandatory dependency because it indicates a required sequence of tasks; the software installation cannot commence without the desktops being installed and powered on. External dependencies refer to factors outside the project, while Internal dependencies involve relationships within the project that are not strictly required. Discretionary dependencies are not essential and can be adjusted based on project needs.
