PK0-004 Question #919: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is B: Additional resources will be required.. Mandatory environmental inspections introduce compliance overhead that directly increases resource demand, extends the schedule, and raises costs - the three most certain and immediate project impacts.
Question
A project manager is leading an effort to build a new factory near a river, and the local population is concerned about the impact of the factory on the waterway. In response, the local council will conduct regular inspections. Which of the following are the MOST likely effects to the project? (Choose three.)
Options
- AQuality will increase.
- BAdditional resources will be required.
- CThe schedule will be impacted.
- DAdditional deliverables will be required.
- EThe burn rate will decrease.
- FThe cost will increase.
- GThe budget will increase.
Explanation
Mandatory environmental inspections introduce compliance overhead that directly increases resource demand, extends the schedule, and raises costs - the three most certain and immediate project impacts.
Common mistakes.
- A. Inspections enforce minimum regulatory compliance thresholds but do not automatically improve factory build quality beyond the already specified design standards.
- D. Inspections are a monitoring and oversight mechanism; they may trigger corrective work but do not inherently create new formal project deliverables.
- E. Adding compliance overhead increases the rate of resource consumption, so the burn rate rises rather than decreases.
- G. Costs will increase (F), but the approved project budget does not automatically increase - a formal change control approval is required, making G a less direct and less certain effect than F.
Concept tested. External regulatory constraints impact on project triple constraints
