Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) — Question 141

A project manager is managing a small project that has a time constraint. What should the project manager do to ensure the delivery is on time?

Answer options

• A. Increase quality review cycles.
• B. Schedule the tasks in sequence.
• C. Schedule the tasks in parallel.
• D. Expand the scope of the project.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Scheduling tasks in parallel allows multiple activities to be worked on simultaneously, which can significantly reduce the overall project duration and help meet tight deadlines. In contrast, increasing quality review cycles may slow down progress, scheduling tasks in sequence can extend the timeline, and expanding the project scope can lead to further delays.
