During the execution of a security project to deploy a new firewall, the project manager notices that the number of completed configuration changes is behind schedule. Which of the following actions are appropriate for monitoring and controlling the project? (Select all that apply.)

Update the project plan to reflect the current status and communicate the variance to stakeholders.

Ignore the variance because the project is still early in its timeline.

Immediately reduce the scope of the firewall deployment to catch up.

Analyze the root cause of the delay, such as resource availability or technical issues.

Compare the actual progress against the planned baseline and identify the variance.

A security project is at the initiation phase. The project sponsor has provided a high-level business case for implementing a zero-trust architecture. Which deliverable is most critical to produce during this phase?

A project charter that defines the project objectives, scope, and key stakeholders.

A detailed work breakdown structure (WBS) for all project tasks.

A lessons-learned report from previous projects.

A finalized project schedule with resource assignments.

A security project to upgrade firewalls is facing a budget cut. The project manager must decide how to proceed without compromising the project's core security objective. Which approach best balances the project constraints?

Proceed with the full scope and hope the budget cut is reversed later.

Reduce the scope by upgrading only the most critical firewalls and defer the rest to a future project.

Cancel the project and reallocate the budget to other security initiatives.

Keep the full scope and ask the team to work overtime without additional budget.
