A customer requests some changes to a product, and those changes are approved by the CCB. Which of the following should be changed first?
A. ROI
B. KPI
C. RACI
D. SOW
Explanation: The SOW (statement of work) is a document that defines the scope, deliverables, schedule, and resources of a project. It is a contractual agreement between the buyer and the seller that should be changed first when there are approved changes to the product. Changing the SOW will ensure that the project expectations and requirements are updated and aligned with the customer’s requests. The other options are not documents that need to be changed first, but rather metrics or tools that can be used to measure or manage the project.
A fix that was not submitted to the CCB for approval was applied to an application. Although the change did not have negative consequences, the sponsors expressed concern to the project manager. Which of the following should the project manager do first to prevent this situation from reoccurring?
A. Meet with the team and highlight the importance of change management.
B. Roll back the process and submit a change request.
C. Document the event as a lesson learned.
D. Remove the team member who bypassed the CCB process.
Explanation: Meeting with the team to emphasize the importance of following change management procedures is the best approach to prevent future unauthorized changes. CompTIA Project+ highlights the importance of adhering to formal change control processes to ensure project alignment and accountability.
While managing a project, a PM is assigned to work on a second project. The second project becomes more complex and monopolizes the PM's time. The PM learns that a similarly time-consuming project was executed previously in the organization. Which of the following actions should the PM take?
A. Perform a root cause analysis
B. Organize a stakeholder meeting
C. Escalate the issue to the CCB
D. Contact the PMO for assistance.
Explanation: The project manager should contact the project management office (PMO) for assistance after learning that a similarly time-consuming project was executed previously in the organization. A PMO is a department or group within an organization that provides centralized guidance, governance, standards, best practices, resources, and oversight for project management activities. A PMO can help the project manager by providing access to historical data, lessons learned, templates, tools, methodologies, and expertise from previous projects that can be useful for planning and executing the current project.
A company needs to have structured cabling installed in one of its buildings. Which of the following would be the best document for the company to use to obtain and compare information on cabling services and costs from various vendors?
A. RFB
B. RFQ
C. RFI
D. RFP
Explanation: A request for proposal (RFP) is the best document for the company to use in this scenario, because it is the most detailed and personalized type of request document. An RFP allows the company to specify the project scope, requirements, deliverables, evaluation criteria, and budget for the structured cabling installation, and to solicit proposals from various vendors that can meet those needs. An RFP also enables the company to compare the vendors based on their qualifications, experience, methodology, and pricing, and to select the best one for the project. An RFP is more suitable than an RFB, RFQ, or RFI, because those documents are less comprehensive and more generic, and they do not provide enough information for the company to make an informed decision.

During the project initiation phase, a project team has been identified. Which of the following is the NEXT step for the project manager?
A. Determine budget constraints.
B. Validate the business case.
C. Update the project charter.
D. Create a project schedule
Explanation: Update the project charter. Updating the project charter would be the next step for the project manager after identifying the project team during the project initiation phase. A project charter is a document that formally authorizes a project and defines its purpose, scope, objectives, deliverables, milestones, roles and responsibilities, assumptions, constraints, risks, budget, and timeline. A project charter can help to align the expectations and interests of all stakeholders involved in a project and provide direction and guidance for planning and executing the project.
