CompTIA Project+ (PK0-005) — Question 47

During a status meeting, the development team reviews work and finds an unforeseen dependency on one of the critical project activities. As a result, the project will most likely be delayed. Which of the following actions should the project manager MOST likely perform?

Answer options

• A. Work with the project scheduler to update the project timeline.
• B. Communicate to the stakeholders about the updated timeline.
• C. Ask the development team to fast-track upcoming activities.
• D. Add two resources so the critical activities will finish on time.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because updating the project timeline with the project scheduler is essential to reflect the new reality of the project's status. Options B, C, and D involve communication, expediting tasks, or adding resources, but without first adjusting the timeline, these actions would not effectively address the root issue of the delay.
