Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 1227

A senior manager attends one of the project review meetings and expresses concern that the project will not meet the quality standards.
What should the project manager do?

Answer options

• A. Ask the senior manager to approve the user acceptance testing (UAT) plan
• B. Inform the senior manager that there are approved quality standards
• C. Review the quality management plan with the senior manager
• D. Estimate the backlog items to forecast quality

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because reviewing the quality management plan with the senior manager addresses their concerns directly and ensures alignment on quality expectations. Option A does not resolve the manager's concerns, while B simply states existing standards without engaging in a discussion. Option D focuses on estimating backlog items rather than addressing the immediate quality concerns.
