PK0-005 Practice Question: A project to upgrade network infrastructure is…
A project to upgrade network infrastructure is behind schedule due to unforeseen compatibility issues. The project manager has already used all management reserve. Which action best aligns with the control schedule process?
⚠ Common exam trap
A common mix-up: candidates confuse the control schedule process with cost or scope management, leading them to select resource leveling or budget requests instead of recognizing that a schedule baseline extension requires a formal change request.

Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Submit a change request to extend the schedule baseline.
The control schedule process focuses on managing changes to the schedule baseline. Since the project manager has exhausted the management reserve and the delay is due to unforeseen compatibility issues, the only formal way to extend the schedule is through a change request that updates the schedule baseline. Option D directly aligns with this process by formally documenting and approving the schedule extension.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Perform resource leveling to optimize task assignments.
Why it's wrong here
Resource leveling may help but does not address the need for a baseline change.
- ✗
Request additional budget from the sponsor.
Why it's wrong here
This addresses cost, not the schedule delay directly.
- ✗
Reduce scope by eliminating non-critical features.
Why it's wrong here
Scope reduction is a change that could help, but the question asks for alignment with control schedule; typically, extending the baseline is more direct.
- ✓
Submit a change request to extend the schedule baseline.
Why this is correct
Correct. A change request is required to modify the approved schedule baseline.
