Actual exam question for CompTIA's PK0-005 exam

Question #: 11
Topic #: 4

After months of recruiting, a team finally found the right candidate for a very specific coding language assignment. Due to this delay, the team has a tight timeline without any float. A day before the candidate is scheduled to join the team, the project manager realizes the candidate has a non-compete agreement from the previous employer. Which of the following should the project manager do?

AWithdraw the offer to the candidate and raise this as a risk.

BIgnore a potential lawsuit since this is a critical project.

CUse a third-party company for the contract to legally avoid responsibility.

DHave a meeting with the project sponsor to discuss the situation.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

A RACI chart would be the most useful option for the project manager to illustrate roles for major project activities for an upcoming project kickoff. A RACI chart is a visual representation of a RACI matrix that shows who is responsible, accountable, consulted, and informed for each task or activity in a project using a table format. A RACI chart can help to communicate and document the roles and expectations of each team member and stakeholder for the project and ensure alignment and agreement.

C sounds shady, not sure that's a good idea.

Wait, can they really just ignore a non-compete?

Using a third-party company sounds like a quick fix, but I’m not sure if it’s ethical or legal. I’d lean towards option A or D instead.

I think we had a similar case study where the project manager chose to consult with stakeholders first. Option D might be the best approach here.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like ignoring the non-compete could lead to bigger problems down the line. Option B seems risky.

I remember discussing the importance of addressing legal issues like non-compete agreements in our project management class. I think option A makes the most sense.

Using a third-party company to avoid responsibility seems like a shady workaround. I'd rather find a more transparent solution that addresses the issue head-on.

Ignoring the non-compete agreement seems risky. I think the best approach is to have an open discussion with the project sponsor to explore our options.

Withdrawing the offer is probably the safest choice here, even though it will delay the project. We can't afford to get sued over this.

I'm a bit confused on how to calculate the number of sectors based on the file size. I'll need to review my notes on file storage and disk allocation.

Hmm, let me think this through. The list1 is created with 9 False values, and list2 is created by slicing list1 from the end to the beginning. I think the answer is B, five elements.

Okay, let me think through this. I know there are a few different ways to compare code in Visual Studio, but I'm not totally sure which one is the best approach here. I might try option B, "Compare with Workspace Version," just to see how that works.

Okay, I've got this. The key here is that the main intention is to set up a guest printer service, so we want the most open and accessible security option. That would be option A, "security = cups", which allows guest access through the CUPS printing system.

Honestly, I'm just impressed they found the 'right candidate for a very specific coding language assignment.' That's like finding a unicorn these days!

Option C is tempting, but it's just avoiding the problem. The project manager needs to face this head-on and deal with the consequences, whatever they may be. No use trying to weasel out of it.

If I were the project manager, I'd go with option D. A meeting with the sponsor is the mature and responsible way to handle this. I wouldn't want to be the one who gets sued for ignoring the non-compete!
