Overview/Description
During project planning, baselines are established for scope, schedule, and cost. Once project work begins, the baselines will be used to compare against actual project performance in order to determine and address any variance. If variance is detected, the project manager must identify the impact to other project areas and act accordingly. Actions may include realigning work to the plan or submitting change requests to update baselines. This course provides a foundational knowledge base reflecting the most up-to-date project management information so you can effectively put principles to work at your own organization. This course will assist in preparing you for the CompTIA Project+ exam, and it is aligned with exam version PK0-004.
