CompTIA Project+ (PK0-005) — Question 249

A project scheduler updates the project status with the following information: SPI = 1.25 and CPI = 0.85. Which of the following can the project manager infer about the current project status?

Answer options

• A. The project is ahead of schedule and under budget.
• B. The project is behind schedule and over budget.
• C. The project is ahead of schedule and over budget.
• D. The project is behind schedule and under budget.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

An SPI of 1.25 indicates that the project is ahead of schedule, while a CPI of 0.85 shows that the project is over budget. Therefore, the correct conclusion is that the project is ahead of schedule and over budget, which corresponds to option C. Options A, B, and D do not accurately reflect the SPI and CPI values provided.
