CompTIA Project+ (PK0-005) — Question 284

A client made a change request. Implementing the change will cause a delay in the project and a budget overrun. Which of the following should the project manager do first?

Answer options

• A. Update the WBS.
• B. Escalate to the CCB.
• C. Accept the change.
• D. Implement the change.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct action is to escalate to the CCB because significant changes that impact the project timeline and budget must be reviewed and approved by the Change Control Board. Updating the WBS, accepting the change, or implementing it directly without CCB approval could lead to mismanagement of the project and its resources.
