Exam PK0-004 topic 1 question 438 discussion

A: is supposed to help avoid a failure. Product deficiencies do not necessarily represent project failure, but they require careful monitoring, identification, and corrective action to ensure that the project delivers a high-quality product that meets the stakeholders' needs and requirements. C: Doesn't always mean a project failure. A common indicator of project failure include: Missed deadlines: If a project consistently misses deadlines or is significantly delayed, it may be an indication of poor planning or inadequate resources. In this case C: should be the BEST answer.

C. Project deliverables completed behind schedule is the BEST indicator of project failure. While each of the options listed could be a potential problem for a project, completing project deliverables behind schedule is the most significant and critical indicator of project failure. Meeting project timelines is a fundamental measure of project success, and delays in project completion can lead to cost overruns, missed opportunities, and loss of stakeholder trust. In contrast, product deficiencies, disagreements among team members, and changes to the project are all issues that can be addressed and resolved through effective project management practices, provided that the project stays on schedule. However, falling behind schedule can impact all aspects of the project, making it much more challenging to achieve success and meet stakeholder expectations.

I am thinking its D here. To me having to make multiple changes to a project means that the whole thing was not planned correctly and it has failed.

Is A the correct answer? why?

On-time Delivery Any project that is late is considered a failure. Organizations in highly competitive, time-to-market driven industries are sometimes tolerant of cost overruns as long as a project meets its target launch date.
