• Question 116:

  A project manager would like to add external engineers to the current team. Engineers will participate in specific tasks only during the testing phase. Which of the following contracts would the project manager most likely use in this situation?

  A. Time and material
  B. Fixed-price
  C. Warranty
  D. Cost-plus
  A. Time and material

  ---

  Explanation

  A time and materials (T&M) contract is the best fit when you need temporary, specialized resources for a limited period (here, only during the testing phase) and the exact effort/hours are not fully predictable. With T&M, the buyer pays for the actual labor time (often at an agreed hourly/daily rate) and any approved materials/expenses. This aligns to CompTIA Project+ procurement objectives around selecting appropriate contract considerations and types, where time and material is a standard option used when work is phase- specific or scope is not fully defined to a fixed deliverable.

  By contrast, fixed-price is most appropriate when the scope and deliverables are clearly defined upfront (less suitable for staff augmentation). Cost-plus reimburses allowable costs plus a fee and is typically used for broader, less-defined deliverables--often creating higher buyer cost risk than T&M for a small, contained staffing need. A warranty is not a primary contract type for acquiring temporary engineers; it's usually a contract provision related to quality/defects after delivery.

• Question 117:

  Which of the following provides the best justification for undertaking a project?

  A. Scope statement
  B. Business case
  C. Sponsor request
  D. Project charter
  B. Business case

  ---

  Explanation

  A business case provides justification for undertaking a project, programme or portfolio. It evaluates the benefit, cost and risk of alternative options and provides a rationale for the preferred solution. A business case is essential for demonstrating the value of the project and securing the approval and funding from the governance. A business case is different from a scope statement, which defines the project boundaries and deliverables; a sponsor request, which initiates the project idea and seeks support; and a project charter, which authorizes the project and assigns the project manager.

• Question 118:

  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. RF
  D. RFP
  D. RFP

  ---

  Explanation

  An RFP (request for proposal) is a document that solicits proposals from potential vendors for a specific project or service. An RFP typically describes the project scope, requirements, evaluation criteria, and instructions for submitting proposals. An RFP is the best document for the company to use to obtain and compare information on cabling services and costs from various vendors, as it allows the company to evaluate the vendors' qualifications, experience, approach, and pricing12.

• Question 119:

  A PM is working with stakeholders in the discovery phase and comparing the cost of the project to the cost savings the project will produce when it is complete. The output of this exercise will produce the:

  A. ROI.
  B. SOW.
  C. RFI.
  D. RPR
  A. ROI.

  ---

  Explanation

  The output of this exercise where the project manager is comparing the cost of the project to the cost savings the project will produce when it is complete will produce the return on investment (ROI). ROI is a financial metric that measures the profitability or efficiency of an investment by comparing its benefits or returns to its costs. ROI can help to evaluate the value or worth of a project and support decision making and prioritization. ROI is calculated by dividing the net benefits (benefits minus costs) by the total costs and multiplying by 100 to get a percentage.
