CompTIA Project+ (PK0-005) — Question 85

A project plan included budgeted funding to set up only a specified number of workstations. A department manager asked a project manager to set up additional workstations just in case the workstations are needed in the future. Which of the following should the project manager do?

Answer options

• A. Ask the sponsor for additional funding to accommodate the request.
• B. Escalate the request to the senior management team.
• C. Advise that a change request would need to be approved.
• D. Instruct the project team to set up the additional workstations.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because any change to the project scope, such as adding workstations, requires a formal change request to be documented and approved. Option A is incorrect as funding cannot be sought without following the change process. Option B is not appropriate since escalation is unnecessary for a standard change request. Option D cannot be done without proper authorization, as it could violate budget constraints.
