CompTIA Project+ (PK0-004) — Question 248

Which of the following tools would a project manager use to determine the root cause of an issue?

Answer options

• A. Pareto Chart
• B. Ishikawa Diagram
• C. Histogram
• D. Monte Carlo Analysis

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The Ishikawa Diagram, also known as the fishbone diagram, is specifically designed to identify the root causes of issues, making it the correct choice. In contrast, a Pareto Chart focuses on prioritizing problems based on their impact, a Histogram presents data distribution, and Monte Carlo Analysis is used for risk assessment, not root cause analysis.
