CompTIA Project+ (PK0-005) — Question 230

During the testing phase of a project, an executive raises a concern about a missing requirement in the product. Which of the following is the NEXT step the project manager should take?

Answer options

• A. Communicate the change status.
• B. Ask for a change request submission.
• C. Escalate to the change control board.
• D. Reject the change to prevent scope creep.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct step is to ask for a change request submission, as this formalizes the process of addressing the new requirement. Communicating change status or escalating to the change control board are steps that follow submission, while rejecting the change is counterproductive and could lead to unresolved issues.
