CAPM Practice: Demonstrate an understanding of common problem-solving tools and techniques

A flowchart graphically represents the sequence and flow of steps in a process. It helps teams understand how a process works, identify inefficiencies or bottlenecks, and communicate process logic clearly to stakeholders.

**Why not B:** Tracking project costs over time is the purpose of tools like earned value management or cost performance reports, not flowcharts. Flowcharts are designed to map process steps and their sequence, not financial data over time.

**Why not C:** Ranking causes of problems by frequency describes a Pareto chart, which uses the 80/20 principle to prioritize issues. A flowchart shows the sequence of steps in a process rather than ranking or prioritizing problem causes.

**Why not D:** Showing the statistical distribution of defects describes a histogram or control chart. Flowcharts visualize process steps and decision points, not statistical distributions of quality data.
