CompTIA Project+ (PK0-005) — Question 206

A project manager notices a resource is overloaded and not completing tasks on time. After reviewing the Gantt chart, the project manager notices the resource has multiple simultaneous tasks that could be executed independently. Which of the following should the project manager do next?

Answer options

• A. Change the precedence of the tasks to “finish-to-start”.
• B. Evaluate and modify the schedule with a burndown chart.
• C. Assign additional resources to prevent overwork.
• D. Perform critical path analysis.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because changing the precedence of the tasks to 'finish-to-start' allows for better management of the workload by ensuring tasks are completed sequentially. Option B is incorrect as a burndown chart is more useful for tracking progress rather than modifying the schedule directly. Option C, while helpful, may not address the immediate issue of task organization. Option D focuses on analyzing the overall project timeline rather than specifically adjusting task precedence.
