A new project manager wants to track features in progress, completed, and scheduled to assess how the project is progressing. Which of the following will help assess the project’s state?

A cumulative flow diagram (CFD) is a valuable tool for tracking features in progress, completed, and scheduled over time. It shows the number of items in each workflow state, allowing the project manager to visualize bottlenecks, identify trends, and assess the project's overall health and predictability. The widening of a band on the CFD indicates an increase in work in progress (WIP) or a slowdown in that stage. A burndown chart tracks remaining work against time, while a burnup chart tracks completed work against total scope. A Pareto diagram is used for prioritizing problems based on frequency or impact.
