hire a subject matter expert to train the project team how to install the materials. This is the best
preventive action that you can take in case the project team has never worked on the material.
Answer option C is incorrect as while this approach may work it’s not the best corrective action as
the project team isn’t learning how to use the new materials.

without training them how to install the materials properly.
Answer option D is incorrect as the incentive program is flawed if the team doesn’t understand
how to install the new materials to begin with.
