PMP Q on verify scope.

 The client responds back that the deliverables do not match the requirements and need to be reworked. The client emphasized that there are medium severity defects in the system which were clearly mandated in the requirements as "should not exist" in the final deliverables. The project manager is not sure if this was communicated but after looking at the Project Management Plan and the Requirements Documents, he confirms that this was not communicated. Which of the following helped the project manager to clearly identify whether the deliverables were meeting the client defined criteria?

Question answered incorrectly
 
 
A Project Management Plan
B Acceptance Criteria in Requirements Documents
C Requirement Traceability Matrix
D All of the above
 
What would be correct answer? Please explain.

I would go with D

This is about the constrains which might be part of the Project Scope Management Plan which has the acceptance criteria, and this is a subsidary plan of Project Management Plan so the Answer is A.

For me the answer looks like D.

 Thank you very much for answer. 

 

 

Hi Sadityas pls. let me know the answer for this question.

 correct anser is D. PM can use all. Usually for PM uses Scope statement (here in PM Plan) for such varifications.

 Im gonna say A. The project management plans include the requirements making B redundant. There doesnt have to be a traceability matrix, and regardless, this is more about verifying requirements instead of determining which stakeholder is mandating them.

According to PMBOK4 Page 110, Figure 5-11,


The inputs of Verify Scope are: Project Management plan, requirements documentation, requirements traceability matrix and Validated deliverables.


So D is correct.
