You work as a project manager for BlueWell Inc. You are going through a project with your project
team. Some of your project team members are reporting that their activities are running late
because there are lag times between activities that do not need to be there. You examine the
schedule and see that the lag times have been incorporated into the project schedule for quality
control reviews. You also learn that the quality control reviews are not being completed as
planned. What is the best approach in this scenario?

A.
Since the quality control inspections are not being completed, remove the lag time from the
project.

B.
Take corrective action and determine when the quality control inspection has happened so far
in the project, perform quality control on the deliverables where the inspection was skipped, and
ensure that quality control will happen from this point forward.

C.
Since the quality control inspections are not being completed, take corrective action and ensure
that the inspections continue from this point forward.

D.
Discuss with the project team that the lag times should not affect the project schedule because
they were built into the project schedule to begin with. Even if the quality control inspections were
happening the time was allotted in the schedule for the inspections.

Explanation:
The best answer is to make certain quality control happens in the project. This means reviewing
past work and ensuring that future inspections are met.
Answer option A is incorrect. Removing the lag time does not solve the problem. It actually
removes quality control requirements.
Answer option C is incorrect. Only inspecting future work for quality control ignores potential past
quality issues in the project.
Answer option D is incorrect. While this answer is technically correct, it does not address the
quality faults that may be creeping into the project deliverables.
