CompTIA Project+ (PK0-004) — Question 466

Which of the following is the BEST time to establish the project cost baseline?

Answer options

• A. After the WBS is created
• B. During sprint planning
• C. Before the project charter is signed
• D. During the project kickoff meeting

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because establishing the project cost baseline before the project charter is signed ensures that the budget is agreed upon prior to formal project initiation. The other options suggest times when the project may still be in the planning or initiation stages, which could lead to adjustments that might impact the cost baseline.
