Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 721

During a project gate review meeting, it is identified that one of the project deliverables will require corrective actions to meet the project quality requirements. What should the project manager do first?

Answer options

• A. Submit a change request to update the project quality requirements for the involved project deliverable.
• B. Update the issue log. identify the involved stakeholders, and assign resources to the corrective actions.
• C. Update the risk register and implement the approved risk response plan for quality deviations.
• D. Identify the resources that were responsible for the deliverable and request a team development plan.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because the project manager needs to address the issue immediately by updating the issue log, identifying stakeholders, and assigning resources to correct the problem. Option A is incorrect as changing quality requirements is not the first step in addressing a deliverable issue. Option C is not applicable since updating the risk register is not the immediate response needed for a specific deliverable issue. Option D does not focus on the immediate corrective actions required for the deliverable.
