What is the function of control charts?

To ensure all necessary data is gathered
To demonstrate a project's priorities
To show trends and project progress within boundaries
To gather and analyze data over time

The correct answer is: To show trends and project progress within boundaries

Control charts are used to show trends and project progress within predefined boundaries. They help project managers and team members monitor how a process is performing over time by displaying data points in relation to upper and lower control limits. This allows for the identification of trends, variations, and outliers so that corrective actions can be taken if needed to keep the project on track. The other options are incorrect because: A. Control charts may help in visualizing data, but their primary function is not to ensure all necessary data is gathered. B. Control charts are not used to demonstrate a project's priorities; they are focused on monitoring project performance. D. While control charts do involve gathering and analyzing data over time, their main purpose is to monitor trends and progress within specified limits, rather than just data collection and analysis.
