Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 498

In a software development project, some of the deliverables do not meet specific performance requirements.

What action should the project manager take?

Answer options

• A. Review the issues with the project team to address the issues.
• B. Review the requirements traceability matrix at the next meeting.
• C. Report issues to key stakeholders and discuss follow up actions.
• D. Ensure compliance with the quality management plan.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as addressing the issues directly with the project team allows for immediate problem-solving and collaboration. Option B is less effective since reviewing the requirements traceability matrix does not actively resolve the performance issues. Option C, while important, is more about reporting than taking direct action, and option D focuses on compliance rather than addressing the specific performance failures.
