CompTIA Project+ (PK0-005) — Question 24

A project manager realizes that a project will not be completed on time due to resource constraints. Which of the following actions should the project manager take NEXT?

Answer options

• A. Trigger the contingency plan and communicate with the stakeholders.
• B. Work with the functional managers to create a work-around.
• C. Submit a change request to the change control board.
• D. Transfer the risk by hiring a new vendor who was successful on a previous project.
• E. Set up an escalation meeting with the sponsor.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because submitting a change request is a formal process that allows the project manager to seek approval for adjustments needed to address the project delays. Options A, B, D, and E are potential actions, but they do not follow the necessary protocol for managing scope changes in project management.
