20+ practice questions focused on Project Life Cycle — one of the most tested topics on the CompTIA Project+ PK0-005 exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation so you learn why the right answer is correct.
Start Project Life Cycle PracticeDuring which project phase is the project charter typically created and approved?
Explanation: The project charter is created during the Initiating phase to formally authorize the project.
A project manager is developing a network diagram and needs to represent an activity that can start only after its predecessor has finished. Which dependency type does this describe?

A project has an Earned Value (EV) of $50,000, Actual Cost (AC) of $60,000, and Planned Value (PV) of $55,000. What is the Cost Performance Index (CPI), and what does it indicate?
Explanation: CPI = EV/AC = 50,000/60,000 = 0.83. A CPI less than 1 indicates the project is over budget.
Which risk response strategy involves taking action to reduce the probability or impact of a risk?
Explanation: Mitigation involves reducing the probability or impact of a risk to an acceptable level.

Practice all Project Life Cycle questions1. Baseline your knowledge
Start with 10 questions to gauge your current understanding of Project Life Cycle. This tells you whether you need a concept refresher or just practice.
2. Review every explanation
For each question — right or wrong — read the full explanation. Understanding why an answer is correct is more valuable than knowing the answer itself.
3. Focus on exam traps
Project Life Cycle questions on the PK0-005 frequently use trap wording. Look for subtle differences in answers that test your precision, not just general knowledge.
4. Reach 80% consistently
Do repeated sessions until you score 80%+ three times in a row. Then move to mixed-mode practice to test cross-topic recall under realistic conditions.
