What is the logic here? Who told the PM!? B makes sense depending on WHO told the PM!!? Was it a team member was it the team member who is sick!? CompTIA is terrible at being direct!

A. Project sponsor (which I believe is the correct one) B. Human resources office (the Pm was notified, so they already know he will be out for a long time ) "a projectized organization is notified that a team member is ill and will be out for an extended period of time." C. Budget office (makes no sense, but only if they approved the budget in which his absence and paid leave will become a problem for the project $$$, as they will need to find a new resource for this which will make the whole thing more expensive) maybe overthinking too much. D. Project team For me makes no sense due to this "This team member is the only person with a key skill set." No team member will be able to replace it. So the PM should get to the sponsor to notify this, as he needs to find a replacement to check what can be done. F this exam I am overthinking things?

Okay let me say why HR is a good CompTIA answer. I'm guessing that their line of thinking is although the project team can find a good fit within the team it'll fall back to HRs approval. Therefore going to HR first can allow the PM to suggest that an existing team member may have the qualifications. That's just my opinion though

Because LOA for the key employee is needed due to illness.

Human resource plan is a document that provides guidance on how the human resources required for a project should be defined, staffed, managed, controlled, and eventually released after the end of the project.

I think the PM should notify the project team since the tasks will need to be redelegated and the use the risk response plan. I'm not sure why HR is the first.
