The project board has asked user and supplier assurance to review all product descriptions relating to the 'updated corporate quality procedures', prior to authorizing the stage plan for stage 3.

Is this appropriate as part of the 'directing a project' process, and why?

    Correct Answer: B

    The project assurance function is responsible for reviewing stage plans for viability and ensuring that standards are met, if requested by the project board. As part of the 'directing a project' process, it is appropriate for project assurance to review all product descriptions relating to the 'updated corporate quality procedures' to ensure the project remains viable and the products will meet their intended purpose.

mcesarlaraOption: B

B. Correct. Project assurance is responsible for providing independent assurance on the viability and correctness of the stage plans. Reviewing product descriptions as part of the stage plan for stage 3 falls within this remit, ensuring that the descriptions are clear, complete, and meet the project's quality requirements. D. Incorrect. The project board relies on project assurance to provide an independent review of the project documents, including product descriptions. The project board does not typically engage in the detailed review of product descriptions but rather makes decisions based on the assurance provided by the project assurance roles.

ravi_awsOption: B

B Project Assurance has a role in advising on the selection of development strategy, design, and methods, and ensuring that any supplier and operating standards defined for the project are met2. In this context, if the Project Board requests it, Project Assurance should review all product descriptions relating to the ‘updated corporate quality procedures’ as part of their review of the stage 3 plan for viability. This helps ensure that the products will meet their intended purpose and that the project remains viable. So, it’s appropriate as part of the ‘Directing a Project’ process.
