CompTIA Project+ (PK0-005) — Question 218

A popular application that has been used by clients everywhere is prohibited in one particular jurisdiction because of security concerns. Which of the following should a project manager do?

Answer options

• A. Conduct an analysis to find a comparable application that is allowed in the particular jurisdiction.
• B. Continue implementing the existing application because it is proven to be secure elsewhere.
• C. Build a new application in house that is comparable to the existing application.
• D. Cancel the project and begin project closeout activities.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because finding a comparable application that complies with local regulations ensures that the project can proceed legally and securely. Option B is incorrect as security concerns in one jurisdiction should not be ignored just because the application is secure elsewhere. Option C may be resource-intensive and not necessary if a comparable application can be found. Option D is too drastic and not the best course of action if alternatives are available.
