PMP · Question 95 · Task 7: Plan and manage quality of products/deliverables

A project manager discovers that a key project deliverable will not meet the quality standards expected by the client, even though it meets the technical specifications in the contract. The development team argues that they have fulfilled their contractual obligations. The client is likely to be dissatisfied with the deliverable quality. What should the project manager do?

Answer options:

A.

Deliver the product as specified since it meets contractual requirements

B.

Engage the client and development team to discuss quality expectations and potential improvements

C.

Improve the deliverable quality without informing the client about the original issues

D.

Document the quality gap and proceed with delivery as planned

How to approach this question

When deliverables meet specifications but not quality expectations, engage stakeholders to address the gap rather than just meeting minimum contractual requirements.

Full Answer

B.Engage the client and development team to discuss quality expectations and potential improvements✓ Correct
B
Project success requires client satisfaction, not just contractual compliance. Engaging both client and development team addresses the gap between specifications and expectations while maintaining transparency.

Common mistakes

Focusing only on contractual compliance, making unilateral quality decisions, or documenting issues without addressing client satisfaction concerns.
