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.

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
D. Gantt 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. Continuous integration
B. Rollback plan
C. Customer notification
D. Automated testing
A PM is working to establish accepted communication channels and to define access requirements. In which of the following phases is the project?
A. Discovery
B. Execution
C. Initiating
D. Planning
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.
B. Record the meeting and transcribe the notes later.
C. Instruct each team member to take notes.
D. Get a facilitator for the meetings.
Explanation: Assigning a scribe allows the project manager to focus on hosting and facilitating the meeting effectively without being distracted by note-taking. 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.
During the stabilization phase for recently deployed software, an end user reports a bug that is compromising data integrity. Which of the following tools will the project manager MOST likely use?
A. Issue log
B. Defect log
C. Change log
D. Task board
Explanation: During the stabilization phase of recently deployed software, the project manager will most likely use a defect log to track and manage reported bugs. A defect log is a document that contains information about the defects or issues identified during testing or after the deployment of software. It includes the severity of the defect, the steps to reproduce the problem, and the actions taken to resolve the defect. The project manager will most likely use a defect log during the stabilization phase for recently deployed software to record a bug that is compromising data integrity. A defect log is a tool that tracks and documents any errors or flaws found in a software product or system during testing or operation. It usually includes information such as defect ID, description, severity, priority, status, resolution, and responsible person. A defect log can help to monitor and manage the quality of the software product or system and ensure that all defects are identified and resolved before delivery or release.
Several stakeholders have declined the invitation for the kickoff of a major digital transformation protect. Which of the following actions should the project manager take NEXT?
A. Escalate directly to the project sponsor
B. Push the kickoff meeting out by one week
C. Proceed with the kickoff as planned
D. Identity replacements for project stakeholders
Explanation: The project sponsor is the person who provides the authority, funding, and support for the project. The project sponsor can also help to influence and engage the key stakeholders who are essential for the success of the project. If several stakeholders have declined the invitation for the kickoff meeting, which is an important event to establish the vision, scope, and expectations of the project, the project manager should escalate this issue to the project sponsor and seek their assistance to ensure the participation of the stakeholders.
