A project is being delayed due to a large amount of rework caused by a quality problem that is impacting the critical path.What should the project manager do?

• A. Report the delay with rectifying actions to the project management office (PMO).
• B. Rebaseline the project schedule to absorb the delay.
• C. Notify the project steering committee about the cause of the delay.
• D. Report the delay with rectifying actions to the change control board (CCB) for review.

Answer explanation

D Reporting to the PMO (option A) might be necessary, but it may not directly address the quality problem causing the rework on the critical path. The PMO could be informed of the situation separately, but the immediate concern is to address the quality problem.Rebaselining the project schedule (option B) could be considered after addressing the quality problem, but it doesn't directly solve the root cause of the delay.Notifying the project steering committee (option C) is important to keep stakeholders informed, but the immediate concern is to rectify the quality problem and minimize the rework.Reporting the delay with rectifying actions to the change control board (CCB) for review (option D) is the most appropriate action in this scenario. The CCB is responsible for reviewing and approving changes to the project scope, schedule, and resources. By involving the CCB, the project manager can seek support for rectifying the quality problem and explore potential solutions to get the project back on track.
