CompTIA Project+ (PK0-004) — Question 289

A project manager has developed a schedule in which all tasks start as late as possible, and there is a focus on buffer utilization and work being completed in shorter periods of time. Which of the following methods is the project manager MOST likely using to develop the schedule?

Answer options

• A. Critical chain
• B. Baseline
• C. Precedence diagram
• D. Arrow diagram
• E. Sprint plan

Correct answer: B, E

Explanation

The correct answer is 'Baseline' as it refers to the approved version of a project schedule that can be used for comparison. The 'Sprint plan' is also relevant but focuses more on agile methodologies. The other options like 'Critical chain', 'Precedence diagram', and 'Arrow diagram' do not specifically highlight the approach of maximizing buffer utilization and late task starts.
