CompTIA Project+ (PK0-005) — Question 137

During a complex, multiyear project, a PM must discern which project tasks overlap so resources can be allocated appropriately. Which of the following is BEST for determining this information?

Answer options

• A. PERT chart
• B. Milestone chart
• C. Gantt chart
• D. Budget burndown chart

Correct answer: C

Explanation

A Gantt chart is the best option as it visually represents project tasks along a timeline, making it easy to identify overlaps and manage resources. A PERT chart focuses on task sequencing and dependencies but does not clearly show overlaps. A milestone chart highlights key points in a project but lacks detailed task progression. A budget burndown chart tracks expenditure over time, which is not relevant for task overlap analysis.
