The initial product is being tested and the quality engineers discover a part is seven millimeters off target. Because of the errors, the product is rejected. What is the likely outcome of this scenario?
  • A A change request must be immediately created to change the product’s design.

  • C The project is deemed a failure and is canceled.
  • D The prototype is discarded and the design document is re-created.
Reveal correct answer

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The project is not over. Rework must be done to bring the project back into alignment with the product requirements. 1 is incorrect. A change request is not the best answer for this question. Rework is required instead to correct the problem. A change request signifies an addition or subtraction from the project scope. 3 is incorrect because this is not a viable option. 4 is incorrect because the design document is not re-created. Rework is completed to meet the project objectives.
