CompTIA Project+ (PK0-005) — Question 88

A project manager is assigned to a large, complex project that is very new to the organization. Because of huge expenditures, the project cannot be cancelled after it starts. Which of the following is most important for the project manager to do FIRST?

Answer options

• A. Carefully select the vendor.
• B. Identify and evaluate risks.
• C. Establish change management procedures.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Identifying and evaluating risks is crucial at the start of a complex project, as it allows the project manager to anticipate potential issues and develop mitigation strategies. While selecting a vendor, establishing change management procedures, and evaluating resources are important, they come after understanding the risks involved, which is the foundation for effective project planning.
