QuestionQ304

Tools and Documentation

A PM is working on the schedule for a project that has technical tasks and requires a SME's knowledge. The PM decides the best way to track this project is to have the project lead provide high-level updates. Which of the following is the BEST tool to track this data?

  • A Gantt chart
  • B Project organization chart
  • C Program Evaluation Review Technique chart
  • D Milestone chart
Explanation

A milestone chart displays major project accomplishments and their target completion dates in a high-level summary format. Since the PM is gathering high-level updates from a project lead rather than managing detailed tasks, a milestone chart is ideal for tracking key deliverables at an executive level. A Gantt chart (A) is overly detailed for this use case, an organization chart (B) shows structure not progress, and a PERT chart (C) emphasizes technical dependencies.
