CompTIA Project+ (PK0-005) — Question 117

A company that is implementing an updated version of its main product hired a new project manager to lead the project. Prior to the start of the project, the sponsor asked the project manager to prepare a report on the defects found in the previous project to avoid a decrease in production. The report shows that the two main defects are related to cosmetic and physical damage to the product. Which of the following charts would BEST prioritize which defects to address?

Answer options

• A. Pareto
• B. Run
• C. Control
• D. Histogram

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The Pareto chart is the best choice because it helps prioritize issues by highlighting the most significant defects based on their frequency or impact, aligning with the 80/20 rule. The other charts, such as Run, Control, and Histogram, provide different types of data visualization but do not specifically assist in prioritizing defects based on their significance.
