CompTIA PK0-005 Practice Test 47

Question 460

An auditor asks whether feature additions were authorized. Which principle MOST directly explains how the project should be managed?

A change log provides auditable history of baseline modifications
Time logs support effort, utilization and contract cost review
Status reporting conveys decisions needed and material project variance
A risk register manages uncertain future events and response commitments

Explanation

Correct Answer

A change log provides auditable history of baseline modifications. The situation involves an auditor asks whether feature additions were authorized, so this is the governing distinction.

Incorrect Answers

That principle concerns time tracking rather than the problem of change log. Time logs support effort, utilization and contract cost review.

That principle concerns project status report rather than the problem of change log. Status reporting conveys decisions needed and material project variance.

That principle concerns risk register rather than the problem of change log. A risk register manages uncertain future events and response commitments.

Question 461

An auditor asks whether feature additions were authorized. Which caution is MOST directly relevant to the project manager's decision?

A code commit history alone does not prove a project scope change was approved
Many test cases do not prove coverage if requirements are not mapped
One optimistic estimate is not equivalent to a three-point expectation
Visual gauges are not meaningful without accurate underlying data

Explanation

Correct Answer

A code commit history alone does not prove a project scope change was approved. The underlying reason is that a change log provides auditable history of baseline modifications.

Incorrect Answers

This is a caution about requirements traceability, not the immediate risk in change log. Traceability connects stakeholder requirements to design, testing and delivery.

This is a caution about pert estimation, not the immediate risk in change log. PERT can model an uncertain task using optimistic, most likely and pessimistic estimates.

This is a caution about project dashboard, not the immediate risk in change log. Dashboards summarize reliable project performance for quick decisions.

Question 462

A test suite passes but no one knows which business requirement each test covers. Which project-management action BEST addresses this situation?

Record reproducible defects with severity, owner and fix verification
Provide a concise periodic status report with scope, progress, issues and forecast
Build a dashboard showing validated KPIs, trends and exceptions
Use a requirements traceability matrix linking requirements to delivery and tests

Explanation

Correct Answer

Traceability connects stakeholder requirements to design, testing and delivery. Here, a test suite passes but no one knows which business requirement each test covers; the chosen action targets that failure. Verification: check each requirement has corresponding verification and acceptance evidence.

Incorrect Answers

This response addresses defect tracking, but the stated decision concerns requirements traceability. Defect logs manage identifiable product faults and resolution evidence.

This response addresses project status report, but the stated decision concerns requirements traceability. Status reporting conveys decisions needed and material project variance.

This response addresses project dashboard, but the stated decision concerns requirements traceability. Dashboards summarize reliable project performance for quick decisions.

Question 463

The team follows this response: Use a requirements traceability matrix linking requirements to delivery and tests. Context: a test suite passes but no one knows which business requirement each test covers. Which evidence BEST verifies the intended outcome?

Check each requirement has corresponding verification and acceptance evidence
Verify defect records include reproduction steps and retest outcomes
Reconcile approved hours and work records to billed charges
Validate predecessor paths and potential critical sequences

Explanation

Correct Answer

Check each requirement has corresponding verification and acceptance evidence. That evidence tests the response to a test suite passes but no one knows which business requirement each test covers instead of an unrelated project condition.

Incorrect Answers

This check would validate defect tracking, not the result required by the requirements traceability case. Defect logs manage identifiable product faults and resolution evidence.

This check would validate time tracking, not the result required by the requirements traceability case. Time logs support effort, utilization and contract cost review.

This check would validate network diagram, not the result required by the requirements traceability case. Network diagrams expose logic and sequencing among project activities.

Question 464

A security control is removed without detecting loss of a promised requirement. Which principle MOST directly explains how the project should be managed?

PERT can model an uncertain task using optimistic, most likely and pessimistic estimates
Traceability connects stakeholder requirements to design, testing and delivery
Defect logs manage identifiable product faults and resolution evidence
A risk register manages uncertain future events and response commitments

Explanation

Correct Answer

Traceability connects stakeholder requirements to design, testing and delivery. The situation involves a security control is removed without detecting loss of a promised requirement, so this is the governing distinction.

Incorrect Answers

Question 465

A security control is removed without detecting loss of a promised requirement. Which caution is MOST directly relevant to the project manager's decision?

Visual gauges are not meaningful without accurate underlying data
An issue log is not an exact substitute for a risk register
A passing project status report does not erase open defects
Many test cases do not prove coverage if requirements are not mapped

Explanation

Correct Answer

Many test cases do not prove coverage if requirements are not mapped. The underlying reason is that traceability connects stakeholder requirements to design, testing and delivery.

Incorrect Answers

This is a caution about project dashboard, not the immediate risk in requirements traceability. Dashboards summarize reliable project performance for quick decisions.

This is a caution about risk register, not the immediate risk in requirements traceability. A risk register manages uncertain future events and response commitments.

This is a caution about defect tracking, not the immediate risk in requirements traceability. Defect logs manage identifiable product faults and resolution evidence.

Question 466

QA finds repeatable bugs but developers receive vague chat messages. Which project-management action BEST addresses this situation?

Use time tracking linked to authorized activities and invoicing rules
Use a shared task board with clear work states and owners
Use a Gantt chart to visualize activities, dependencies and timing
Record reproducible defects with severity, owner and fix verification

Explanation

Correct Answer

Defect logs manage identifiable product faults and resolution evidence. Here, qa finds repeatable bugs but developers receive vague chat messages; the chosen action targets that failure. Verification: verify defect records include reproduction steps and retest outcomes.

Incorrect Answers

This response addresses time tracking, but the stated decision concerns defect tracking. Time logs support effort, utilization and contract cost review.

This response addresses task board, but the stated decision concerns defect tracking. A task board visualizes workflow and accountability.

This response addresses gantt chart, but the stated decision concerns defect tracking. Gantt charts display planned work over time and dependency relationships.

Question 467

The team follows this response: Record reproducible defects with severity, owner and fix verification. Context: qa finds repeatable bugs but developers receive vague chat messages. Which evidence BEST verifies the intended outcome?

Reconcile approved hours and work records to billed charges
Check critical tasks and milestones appear against the baseline calendar
Validate predecessor paths and potential critical sequences
Verify defect records include reproduction steps and retest outcomes

Explanation

Correct Answer

Verify defect records include reproduction steps and retest outcomes. That evidence tests the response to qa finds repeatable bugs but developers receive vague chat messages instead of an unrelated project condition.

Incorrect Answers
