- A Assign a project team member to investigate the control chart.

- C Consult with her project management office regarding the bubble chart she has created.
- D Refer to her established escalation paths for the processes analyzed in the control chart.
Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Paola should refer to her documented escalation paths. This will ensure she is complying with project governance. A control chart shows the stability of a process over time. The steering committee is unlikely to assist, and a Pareto chart shows categories of failures in quality control. Assigning a project team member to investigate the control chart does not help resolve the issues Paolo has already defined. Consulting with the project management office with a bubble chart is not the best choice. A bubble chart shows the size and characteristics of a risk event, not the stability of the processes.Discussion
