Corrective action
Expert judgment
Explanation:
A corrective action is a change implemented to address a weakness identified in a management
system. Normally corrective actions are implemented in response to a customer complaint,
abnormal levels of internal nonconformity, nonconformities identified during an internal audit or
adverse or unstable trends in product and process monitoring such as would be identified by SPWhen the project manager relies on consultants or the project team (or both), it is an example of
expert judgment. Expert judgment is a technique based on a set of criteria that has been acquired
in a specific knowledge area or product area. It is obtained when the project manager or project
team requires specialized knowledge that they do not possess. Expert judgment involves people
most familiar with the work of creating estimates. Preferably, the project team member who will be
doing the task should complete the estimates. Expert judgment is applied when performing
administrative closure activities, and experts should ensure the project or phase closure is
performed to the appropriate standards.
Answer option C is incorrect. This is not an example of decomposition.
Answer option B is incorrect. This is not an example of rolling wave planning.
Answer option A is incorrect. This is not an example of using a project template.
