Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) — Question 450

Which role does the project manager resemble best?

Answer options

• A. Orchestra conductor
• B. Facilities supervisor
• C. Functional manager
• D. School principal

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The project manager best resembles an orchestra conductor because both roles involve coordinating various components and ensuring that all parts work harmoniously together toward a common goal. In contrast, a facilities supervisor focuses on physical resources, a functional manager oversees specific departments, and a school principal manages educational activities, which do not align as closely with the project management role.
