CompTIA Project+ (PK0-004) — Question 124

A team has been assembled and assigned a project to reduce recent, unanticipated production cost overruns. Which of the following tools should the project team select to determine the possible origins of the increased costs?

Answer options

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The Fishbone diagram, also known as the Ishikawa or cause-and-effect diagram, is specifically designed to identify and analyze the root causes of a problem, making it the most suitable choice for determining the origins of cost overruns. The other options, while useful in different contexts, do not provide as direct a means for analyzing potential causes of increased costs.
