SS pawar has given the right answer ...first inputs from the team members is required to know the complete situation and then PM would initiate any corrective action if required

RITA Q ID 330

The correct answer is D.

Such a review compares the deliverable to the requirements. The project manager might have misunderstood and it would be best to check before talking to the team member.

----------

above is Rita's explanation, but in my view, for verifying the deliverables he or she must have to discuss to team member , He or She cant verfy himself or herself withot consulting the report and concerned person.

Answer D is correct. Porject manager can verify the scope the deliverables by doing that review before even reach the team member. If he misunderstood, he does not need to verify with Team member.


if his understanding is wrong and If he directly verifies with team member, it might demotivate the team member eventhough he did it correct.
