CompTIA Project+ (PK0-005)Project Life Cycle PhasesMedium
Before committing budget and resources, an organization wants to determine whether a proposed data center migration is technically achievable and financially justified. Which initiation activity should be performed?
- AFeasibility study
- BKickoff meeting
- CRisk register development
- DWBS creation
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: A. Feasibility study
A feasibility study assesses whether a proposed project is technically achievable, financially viable, and practical before formal commitment of resources. Kickoff meetings and WBS creation occur later in planning/execution, and risk registers are developed during planning.
Why the other options are wrong
- B. Kickoff meetings occur after the project is approved and planned.
- C. Risk registers are built during planning, not before project approval.
- D. WBS creation happens during planning, after feasibility is confirmed.
Feasibility Study
An analysis performed during initiation to determine whether a proposed project is technically, financially, and operationally viable.
- Performed before formal project approval
- Assesses technical, financial, and operational viability
- Helps decide go/no-go on a proposal
Memory trick: Feasibility = 'Is it feasible?' checked first
