Certified Business Analysis Professional (CBAP) — Question 331

Which of the following graphical presentations of a project plan is most appropriate for presenting to upper management?

Answer options

• A. Pie chart
• B. Pareto Chat
• C. Critical Path Method
• D. Scatter chart

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The Critical Path Method (CPM) is the most suitable choice for upper management as it clearly outlines the timeline and critical tasks of a project, enabling informed decision-making. In contrast, pie charts, Pareto charts, and scatter charts do not provide the comprehensive overview of project timelines and dependencies that CPM offers.
