Question

Final Answer : C, Explanation :  Margit is using the Critical Path Method (CPM)/Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) tool which breaks down a complex project into smaller, manageable sub-activities with clear start and end points. The tool also identifies the sequence of tasks and their interrelationships, allowing for better planning and control of the project. A Gantt chart only shows the schedule of tasks and their timeline, not interrelationships. CRM is a customer relationship management tool unrelated to project management. Breakeven analysis and after-action review are also unrelated to project management tools for planning and control of project activities.
