During the testing phase of a project, the regression test fails due to a specific item that is disrupting the entire system. Which of the following documents should the project manager use to identify who requested this item?
A. Issue log
B. Risk register
C. Defect log
D. Traceability matrix
Explanation: A traceability matrix is a document that maps the requirements of a project to the deliverables, test cases, and changes that are produced to meet those requirements. It helps the project manager to track the origin, status, and impact of each requirement throughout the project life cycle. A traceability matrix can also identify who requested or approved each requirement. Therefore, the project manager can use the traceability matrix to identify who requested the specific item that caused the regression test to fail12.
Which of the following requires the MOST availability from the business team?
A. SDLC
B. Scrum
C. PRINCE2
D. Waterfall
Explanation: Scrum requires the most availability from the business team among the given options. Scrum is a popular agile framework that organizes work into short iterations called sprints, usually lasting one to four weeks. Scrum emphasizes collaboration between teams, customers, and stakeholders and encourages open communication and transparency throughout the project lifecycle. Scrum requires frequent involvement and feedback from the business team through activities such as product backlog refinement, sprint planning, sprint review, sprint retrospective, and daily scrum meetings.
A team currently has a schedule for each sprint that changes after every iteration. The team wants to set up a repeatable schedule that would create a consistent flow of tasks and deliverables after each iteration. Which of the following should be established to best meet this goal?
A. Task log
B. Cadence
C. Milestones
D. Work breakdown structure
Which of the following best describes a benefit of the CI/CD process?
A. Software delivery is sped up without compromising quality.
B. Incremental changes are done at the end of the project.
C. The software is integrated with other projects easily.
D. Updates are released every sprint.
A company that is implementing an updated version of its main product hired a new project manager to lead the project. Prior to the start of the project, the sponsor asked the project manager to prepare a report on the defects found in the previous project to avoid a decrease in production. The report shows that the two main defects are related to cosmetic and physical damage to the product. Which of the following charts would BEST prioritize which defects to address?
A. Pareto
B. Run
C. Control
D. Histogram
Explanation: The project manager should use a Pareto chart to prioritize which defects to address for the product. A Pareto chart is a type of bar chart that shows the frequency or impact of different causes of problems or defects. It also shows a cumulative line that represents the percentage of the total frequency or impact. A Pareto chart can help to prioritize the causes that have the most significant effect on the quality of the product and apply the 80/20 rule, which states that 80% of the problems are caused by 20% of the causes.
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
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.
During an agile project, a team member checked the project artifacts in order to anticipate when all the work should have been completed. Which of the following charts was the team member most likely consulting?
A. Pareto chart
B. Milestone chart
C. Burndown chart

After a release, the project sponsor received an escalation from an executive about the extension of the downtime after the scheduled window. Which of the following should be added to the issue log?

A procurement team analyzes solutions submitted from multiple vendors for the upcoming release of a required development service. The procurement team identifies a potential partnership. Which of the following would the procurement team most likely request?
A. Quote
B. Information
C. Proposal
D. Bid
Explanation: A proposal is a detailed document submitted by vendors outlining how they will meet project requirements. It helps in assessing vendor solutions and suitability, consistent with CompTIA Project+ procurement and vendor management practices.
Which of the following should be considered first when determining the privacy management for project data?
A. Evaluating the current privacy protection program
B. Understanding applicable privacy regulations
C. Maintaining awareness of industry best practices
D. Implementing security role-based controls
Explanation: Before starting a new project that involves personal data, the project manager should first understand the relevant privacy regulations that apply to the data subjects, the data controllers, and the data processors. These regulations may vary depending on the location, industry, and nature of the data. For example, GDPR applies to any project that processes the personal data of individuals in the European Union, regardless of where the project is based or executed. Understanding the applicable privacy regulations will help the project manager to identify the legal obligations, risks, and compliance requirements for the project data.

A project manager distributes minutes after each project meeting. However, the project manager is having difficulties hosting the meetings and documenting the discussions simultaneously. Which of the following should the project manager do in order to be most efficient?
A. Assign a scribe to take notes.

This approach is consistent with best practices in meeting management and aligns with CompTIA Project+ guidelines, which emphasize the importance of efficient meeting roles and responsibilities.
