CompTIA Project+ (PK0-005) — Question 22

A project manager has been assigned to a new project. During the planning phase, the project manager needs to get an understanding of the purpose of the project. Which of the following should the project manager do?

Answer options

• A. Collate the lessons learned.
• B. Perform a gap analysis.
• C. Review existing artifacts.
• D. Conduct a retrospective.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as reviewing existing artifacts allows the project manager to understand the context and objectives of the project by examining previously created documents and project outputs. Options A, B, and D do not directly provide insights into the project's purpose; lessons learned and gap analyses focus on past experiences and deficiencies, while retrospectives are typically conducted after project phases, not during planning.
