Question 27

Question

A vendor manager communicates to the project manager that a shipment of new devices required
for the completion of a project is delayed. The supplier is planning to deliver the devices two months
after the agreed-upon date. Which of the following should the project manager do first?

Accepted Answer

Evaluate the impact to baselines.

Parker V. · Answer

Anyone try checking the official CompTIA Project+ book or some practice tests for this scenario?

Alex T. · Answer

Not C, B is the first step since you evaluate impact before taking corrective action. C is tempting but skips proper assessment.

Arjun T. · Answer

Option B seems right here. Before making changes like switching suppliers or updating the timeline, I think the PM should check how the delay affects cost, schedule, and scope. Unless I'm missing some risk clause?

Sam · Answer

Had something like this in a mock and it was B. The PM should figure out how the delay actually hurts the project’s scope, cost, and timeline before making any moves. Pretty sure that’s what best practice says but open to corrections if someone disagrees.

Hard to say, B here. It's easy to jump to C since you want to fix the issue fast, but you're supposed to check how bad the delay is for your project baselines before acting. C's a trap if you don't know the actual impact first.
