CompTIA Project+ (PK0-004) — Question 281

A project sponsor promises the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) that a project will be completed before the next quarterly meeting. The project manager needs to take the following elements into account:
✑ Delivery
✑ Vacation
✑ Cost of overtime
✑ Work effort
Which of the following documents should the project manager use to guarantee the project's success?

Answer options

• A. RACI
• B. Schedule
• C. Project charter
• D. SWOT
• E. Burn chart

Correct answer: E

Explanation

The correct answer is E, Burn chart, which helps track project progress in relation to time and resources, ensuring that any deviations can be addressed proactively. Options A (RACI) and C (Project charter) are useful for defining roles and project scope but do not focus on tracking progress. Option B (Schedule) is important for planning but does not provide real-time insights like a Burn chart, while option D (SWOT) is for strategic analysis and not for tracking project completion.
