CompTIA PK0-005 Online Questions & Answers

• Question 371:

  A project manager is reviewing a signed legal document pertaining to the hiring of a vendor who will develop an experimental solution. The vendor could not provide accurate estimates at this time because the requirements will probably be changing. The document also contains information about the resources involved and the rates the vendor will charge for the work. Which of the following best describes the legal document the project manager is reviewing?

  A. Time and materials contract
  B. Master service agreement
  C. Fixed-price contract
  D. Non-disclosure agreement
  A. Time and materials contract

  ---

  Explanation

  A time and materials contract is a type of contract where the buyer pays the seller for the actual time and materials used during the project. This type of contract is suitable when the scope of work is uncertain or likely to change, and the vendor cannot provide accurate estimates. The document also specifies the resources involved and the rates the vendor will charge for the work.

  A. Status
  B. Focus
  C. Brainstorming
  D. Informative

• Question 373:

  A project manager is managing a virtual team across the country. As reported in the retrospective, the team morale has decreased due to additional production issues. Which of the following meeting tools is the best option to record results in the retrospective?

  A. Presentation
  B. Wiki
  C. Chat
  D. Polling
  B. Wiki

  ---

  Explanation

  A wiki is the best tool to record retrospective results for a distributed/virtual team because it provides a shared, persistent, easily editable knowledge base where outcomes can be documented and revisited.

  Retrospectives produce actionable items such as what went well, what didn't, root causes/themes (e.g., production issues), and improvement experiments with owners and due dates. A wiki supports this by enabling structured pages, version history, links to incident records, and ongoing updates--helping the team track whether morale and operational stability improve over time. CompTIA Project+ includes meeting management and documentation practices (agendas, notes, action items) and recognizes collaboration tools used to capture and share project knowledge.

  A presentation is typically one-way and not ideal for ongoing collaborative updates. Chat is transient and hard to curate as a long-term record; key decisions and actions get buried. Polling is useful for quick sentiment checks (which can help measure morale), but it doesn't serve as the primary system to document discussion, decisions, and actions from the retrospective.

  Therefore, to record retrospective results clearly and durably for a virtual team, the PM should use a wiki.

• Question 374:

  A team member needs to make an emergency update. The team member is unable to return to the office.

  Which of the following is the most secure way to make the update?

  A. At home, using home internet and the company's computer
  B. At a coffee shop, using free Wi-Fi and the corporate computer
  C. At home, using home internet and the corporate virtual private network
  D. Anywhere the team member would like, using a mobile device and mobile internet

• Question 377:

  A PM is concerned with the organization's intellectual property and wants to implement new physical security measures to better protect trade secrets.

  Which of the following is the best action to take?

  A. Utilize biometrics.
  B. Restrict removable media.

  D. Upgrade access control
  A. Utilize biometrics.

• Question 378:

  When introducing a new information asset, what is the MOST important responsibility of the asset owner?

  A. Information disposal
  B. Information classification
  C. Information access administration
  D. Information backup
  B. Information classification

  ---

  Explanation

  The most important responsibility of an asset owner when introducing a new information asset is information classification. This process involves determining the level of sensitivity and the appropriate handling of the asset. Classification helps

  in applying the right security controls and access permissions, ensuring that the asset is protected according to its value and sensitivity.

• Question 379:

  A software development project manager has noticed that the system release iterations on a project are being submitted with bugs and errors. The project manager questions the development team members, and they attributed these issues to long coding hours.

  The project manager uses the following scatter diagram to analyze any patterns and verify the reason for the issues:

  

  Which of the following statements best describes the results of the pattern?

  A. Perfect positive correlation
  B. Negative correlation
  C. Perfect negative correlation
  D. No correlation
  D. No correlation

• Question 380:

  A client continues to present the project team with additional changes. To help with agreeing upon an expected delivery date, the project manager sets up a meeting with stakeholders. Which of the following should this meeting identify?

  A. Project scope
  B. Project communication
  C. Project budget
  D. Project objectives
  A. Project scope

  ---

  Explanation

  This meeting should identify (and re-confirm) the project scope because repeated "additional changes" are classic drivers of scope change/scope creep, and scope is the primary input for setting a realistic delivery date. In CompTIA Project+ objectives, scope is explicitly treated as a planning-phase activity--e.g., creating a detailed scope statement and defining units of work--which then enables reliable scheduling and estimating.

  When stakeholders keep adding changes, the project manager must use the change control process (collect the change requests, assess impacts, determine decision makers/CCB involvement, update the project plan, implement and validate changes, and communicate deployment). Agreeing on an "expected delivery date" requires stakeholders to align on what work is actually included (scope boundaries) so impacts to the schedule can be calculated and accepted.

  While budget, objectives, and communication are important, they don't directly resolve the problem created by ongoing additions: without a clarified, agreed scope baseline (what's in vs. out), any delivery date becomes unstable and will continue to slip as new work is introduced.
