CompTIA Project+ (PK0-005) — Question 364

A vendor manager communicates to the project manager that a shipment of new devices required for the completion of a project is delayed. The supplier is planning to deliver the devices two months after the agreed-upon date. Which of the following should the project manager do first?

Answer options

• A. Hold the project until the devices are delivered.
• B. Evaluate the impact to baselines.
• C. Request another supplier to ship devices.
• D. Update the project timeline with a new project end date.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The project manager should first evaluate the impact on baselines to understand how the delay affects overall project scope, schedule, and budget. Simply holding the project or updating the timeline without assessing the implications would be premature. Requesting another supplier may not be feasible or timely, and could complicate the situation further.
