CompTIA often tests the distinction between direct supervisory roles and other project roles like project manager or sponsor, causing candidates to confuse the project manager's authority with line management responsibility.

Correct answer & explanation

✓

Bob

In a typical organizational chart for a project, the reporting structure shows that Developer 1 reports directly to Bob, who is the team lead or manager. Bob is therefore directly responsible for assigning tasks, reviewing work, and managing Developer 1's performance. This is based on the hierarchical lines of authority depicted in the exhibit.
