A project manager wants to visually analyze how one project variable might influence another. Which of the following tools would be most appropriate to display this potential relationship?
A scatter diagram plots two variables against each other on a graph to identify any potential relationship or correlation between them. This visual tool helps the project manager analyze how one variable may influence another. The Fishbone/Ishikawa diagram is used to identify root causes of a problem by categorizing potential causes but does not show relationships between variables. A Pareto chart displays data in descending order to highlight the most significant factors, and a histogram shows the distribution of data over intervals; neither is designed to analyze the influence between two variables.
