A project team is running into challenges because members are unclear about other members' roles. Which of the following charts should the project manager create?

A project organizational chart is a graphical display of project team members and their reporting relationships. Its primary purpose is to clarify the project's formal structure, showing who reports to whom and the different functional groups involved. By creating and sharing this chart, the project manager can visually communicate each member's position and relationship to others, directly addressing the team's confusion about roles and structure.

A. A project plan is a comprehensive formal document, not a specific chart designed to clarify team member roles visually.

B. A project road map is a high-level strategic overview of project goals and deliverables against a timeline, not team structure.

C. A project milestone chart shows key dates and events in the project schedule, not the roles and responsibilities of team members.
