CompTIA Project+ (PK0-005) — Question 74

During the project initiation phase, a PM needs to construct a project schedule and show the project dependencies. Which of the following should the PM use for this task?

Answer options

• A. Waterfall method
• B. Simulation method
• C. Precedence diagramming method
• D. Critical path method

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The Precedence Diagramming Method (PDM) is specifically designed to visually represent project tasks and their dependencies, making it the correct choice. The Waterfall method is a project management approach, not a scheduling tool, while the Simulation method focuses on risk analysis rather than scheduling. The Critical Path Method is useful for identifying the longest path of tasks but does not explicitly illustrate dependencies as PDM does.
