Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 79

A project manager for an agile project is concerned that the team has been losing momentum over the last iterations.
Which two tools should the project manager use to analyze team performance? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Burndown chart
• B. Product backlog burnup chart
• C. Cumulative flow diagram of completed features
• D. Work breakdown structure (WBS)
• E. Project schedule

Correct answer: A, C

Explanation

The Burndown chart (A) is useful for visualizing the remaining work in a sprint and tracking progress over time, making it a key tool for analyzing team performance.
