Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) — Question 152

When executing a project, a recently hired subject matter expert (SME) who reviewed the execution progress remarked that the schedule could be crashed and that the schedule was not assessed properly. What should the project manager do next?

Answer options

• A. Update the schedule baseline.
• B. Update the risk register.
• C. Review the schedule baseline.
• D. Initiate a change request.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct action is to review the schedule baseline to ensure it accurately reflects the project's current status and identify any necessary adjustments. Updating the schedule baseline or risk register without first assessing the existing schedule may overlook critical issues. Initiating a change request is premature without a thorough review of the current schedule.
