CompTIA Project+ (PK0-005) — Question 192

A project is planned to be completed in three phases. The team has learned that all the tasks related to phase one are a week behind schedule. Which of the following is the next action the project manager should take?

Answer options

• A. Update the project schedule.
• B. Start the other phases in parallel to accelerate the project.
• C. Assign additional resources to finish incomplete tasks.
• D. Abandon phase one and begin phase two as planned.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because updating the project schedule is essential to reflect the current status and manage expectations. Starting other phases in parallel (B) could lead to resource conflicts and further delays. Assigning additional resources (C) might not be effective if the project schedule isn't adjusted, and abandoning phase one (D) would disregard the work already done and could jeopardize the project's success.
