CompTIA Project+ (PK0-005) — Question 286

During the testing phase of a project, the regression test fails due to a specific item that is disrupting the entire system. Which of the following documents should the project manager use to identify who requested this item?

Answer options

• A. Issue log
• B. Risk register
• C. Defect log
• D. Traceability matrix

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, the Traceability matrix, as it maps requirements to their origins and can show who requested the specific item. The Issue log tracks problems, the Risk register identifies potential risks, and the Defect log records defects, but none of these directly link items to their requestors.
