Ask the project team member to go ahead with the changes.

Defect repair

Corrective action

Preventive action

Supportive action

Question Title

* 4. You have managed a federal highway construction project, which is intended to improve transportation between north and south regions of the country. In the execution phase, you received many complaints from stakeholders, including the highway transportation agency. At least half these complaints were regarding the quality of the micro texture of the road, and the nonconformance to the quality levels incorporated in the project quality management plan. So far, you have successfully fixed all the reported issues, but you are concerned by this recurrent event. What should you do to avoid future similar issues?

Initiate a defect repair to repair the road or completely pave a new road

Initiate a change request to update the project quality management plan

Initiate a preventive action to reduce the probability of negative consequences associated with the poor quality of the road

Initiate a corrective action to bring the future quality of the road in line with the project management plan

Question Title

* 5. You have recently taken over a project that is struggling both in terms of schedule and costs. You have spent the first few weeks in your role trying to understand the project scope and meeting the team members. It has now become obvious that the original project time and cost estimates were too optimistic. What needs to be done now?

Revise the project time and cost estimates; it’s never too late to fix issues.

Reduce the project scope to fit the current budget and time allowance.

Re-estimate the project and issue a change request.

Outsource the work packages so that the risk can be transferred to the contractors.
