• Question 141:

  An enhancement is set to be released into production, and availability issues need to be avoided. Before the release, which of the following should be the most important consideration?

  A. System downtime
  B. Risk assessment

  ---

  Explanation

• Question 142:

  Which of the following artifacts should project team members use if they want to identify who to communicate with and at what level?

  A. Concept of operations
  B. WBS
  C. Integrated master schedule
  D. RACI
  D. RACI

  ---

  Explanation

  A RACI (Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, Informed) matrix clarifies roles and responsibilities, indicating who needs to be communicated with at various levels. CompTIA Project+ highlights RACI as a critical tool for effective project communication and accountability.

• Question 143:

  Which of the following PRINCE2 processes includes creating the project plan?

  A. Starting up a project
  B. Initiating a project
  C. Managing product delivery
  D. Directing a project
  B. Initiating a project

  ---

  Explanation

  According to PRINCE2, a project management methodology, the process of initiating a project includes creating the project plan, which is a high-level plan that covers the whole project scope, schedule, budget, quality, and risks. The project plan is based on the project brief, the business case, and the product descriptions. The project plan is used to obtain the authorization from the project board to initiate and execute the project. The project plan is also refined and updated throughout the project life cycle as more information becomes available. The other processes are not directly involved in creating the project plan. Starting up a project is a pre-project process that ensures the project is viable and worthwhile, and produces the project brief and the initiation stage plan. Managing product delivery is a process that coordinates the delivery of products from the team managers to the project manager, and ensures that the work conforms to the quality criteria and the project plan. Directing a project is a process that enables the project board to oversee and control the project, and make key decisions and approvals.

• Question 144:

  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
  C. Update the project charter.

  ---

  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.

• Question 145:

  A product manager is producing a project status report for key stakeholders

  Which of the following should most likely be included? (Select two).

  A. Feedback
  B. Financial summary
  C. Project schedule
  D. Organizational chart
  E. Approval
  F. Risks
  B. Financial summary
  C. Project schedule

  ---

  Explanation

• Question 146:

  Which of the following would most likely take place when a team reviews the backlog and presents the status of each task?

  A. Sprint retrospective
  B. Sprint review
  C. Sprint planning
  D. Daily Scrum
  B. Sprint review

  ---

  Explanation

  A Sprint Review involves reviewing the completed backlog items and presenting the work to stakeholders. This aligns with CompTIA Project+ agile practices, where a Sprint Review focuses on completed tasks and feedback.

• Question 147:

  Project team members have questions regarding their responsibilities during the latest sprint. Which of the following personnel would MOST likely be able to assist?

  A. Product owner
  B. Team leader
  C. Product manager
  D. Scrum master
  D. Scrum master

• Question 148:

  Which of the following roles has approval authority for project funding?

  A. Champion
  B. Chief Financial Officer (CFO)
  C. Project Management Office (PMO)
  D. Sponsor
  D. Sponsor

  ---

  Explanation

• Question 149:

  Which of the following best describes a rollback plan?

  A. Apply an alternative plan if the original plan does not work.
  B. Return to the operational state of a system before applying a requested change.
  C. Restart the project with new resources to avoid failures from previous ones.
  D. Repeat the tasks suggested in the requested change until they work.
  B. Return to the operational state of a system before applying a requested change.

  ---

  Explanation

  A rollback plan (sometimes called a "backout plan") defines the steps to revert a system to the last known good/operational state if an implemented change fails or creates unacceptable impacts. That is exactly what option B states: returning to the operational state before the change was applied. This aligns with IT change control practices emphasized in Project+ governance and change control contexts, where changes must include consideration for restoring service quickly if outcomes are not as expected.

  Option A ("apply an alternative plan") is closer to a general contingency/fallback plan, which may involve a different solution path rather than undoing the change. Options C and D are not standard control responses: restarting the entire project is extreme and unrelated to change backout, and repeating tasks "until they work" ignores risk control and service stability.

  In project environments--especially IT--rollback planning is part of responsible change implementation because it reduces downtime, protects users, and supports controlled deployment. If validation/testing after the change shows failure, the rollback plan provides a predefined, approved path to quickly restore the prior baseline while the team reassesses or submits a revised change request.

• Question 150:

  In the initiation phase, a PM is reviewing the objectives, the high-level requirements, the success criteria, and the budget resources. Which of the following action items will benefit from this analysis?

  A. Developing a RACI
  B. Identifying and assessing stakeholders
  C. Assigning project resources
  D. Establishing communication channels
  B. Identifying and assessing stakeholders

  ---

  Explanation

  Identifying and assessing stakeholders is an action item that will benefit from the analysis of the objectives, the high-level requirements, the success criteria, and the budget resources in the initiation phase. By reviewing these elements, the PM can determine who are the key individuals or groups that have an interest or influence in the project, what are their expectations and needs, and how to engage them effectively throughout the project life cycle.
