A serious limitation of interdependencies between various project activities is observed in
- AHistogram chart
- BBar chartCorrect
- CFlow chart
- DNetwork analysis
Solution
Concept
Bar chart limitations in project management
Formula
NONE
Step-by-step solution
1. Project planning techniques illustrate relationships and dependencies between activities. 2. Complex activity interdependencies can be difficult to represent clearly in certain visual formats. Answer: B
Explanation
A bar chart displays project activities against a timeline but fails to clearly show interrelationships and dependencies among tasks. Because it does not explicitly depict how delays in one activity impact dependent subsequent activities, it has limited utility in complex project control. Therefore, option B is the correct choice.
Why the other options are wrong
A) Histogram charts plot resource distribution over time rather than task interdependencies. D) Network analysis explicitly illustrates interdependencies and logical paths between activities.
Shortcut
Bar charts fail to show interdependencies between activities clearly.
Common mistake
Selecting network analysis instead of bar charts, failing to recognize that Gantt charts lack clear dependency links between activities.
Correct answer: B) Bar chart
