QuestionQ243

Project Management Concepts

During a complex, multiyear project, a PM must discern which project tasks overlap so resources can be allocated appropriately. Which of the following is BEST for determining this information?

  • A PERT chart
  • B Milestone chart
  • C Gantt chart
  • D Budget burndown chart
Explanation

A Gantt chart visually displays project tasks along a timeline, clearly showing start and end dates and task overlaps. This makes it straightforward to identify which tasks run in parallel and allocate resources accordingly. While a PERT chart (A) shows dependencies and critical path, it is less effective for visualizing overlaps. Milestone charts (B) show only major milestones, and budget burndown charts (D) track spending, not task timing.
