Question 139
Lizzy is the project manager for Project Westward, three weeks into a planned ten-week implementation and has a CPI of .99. This project has several requirements for a federal agency that influence the project timeline. The requirements call for inspectors to review the work before a customer uses the solution. These reviews do not take long to complete, but it often takes two weeks or longer for the inspector to arrive and complete the review process. After a recent team meeting, a developer approached Lizzy and asked why compliance is so important. What is Lizzy's most likely response?
- A To promote customer safety.
- B To mitigate risk issues with the financial concerns of the project.
- C The program management office requires it.
- D To meet legal obligations.
Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Compliance means aligning with rules, regulations, and laws – these are legal obligations for different types of projects. Compliance reviews may take time, but they counteract the cost of failing to meet compliance, codes, laws, and other legal issues. The project management office may require it, but the best reason is to meet a legal obligation. Compliance may promote customer safety, but the best answer is that the project is legally obligated to meet the compliance requirements. Compliance could be a risk mitigation issue, but the best answer is to meet legal obligations for the project.Discussion
