CompTIA Project+ (PK0-004) — Question 342

A project needs to know if a project is progressing as planned. Which of the following tools would be BEST to measure progress?

Answer options

• A. Histogram
• B. KPI
• C. Pareto chart
• D. RACI matrix
• E. CPM

Correct answer: E

Explanation

The Critical Path Method (CPM) is the most suitable tool for measuring project progress as it focuses on the critical tasks that directly affect the project's timeline. Other options like Histogram, KPI, Pareto chart, and RACI matrix serve different purposes such as data representation, performance indicators, prioritization, and role clarification, but they do not specifically track progress against a schedule.
