Exam PMP topic 1 question 348 discussion

B. Review the requirements traceability matrix and conduct inspections

Once the project manager has reviewed the traceability matrix and conducted inspections, they can better understand whether there are valid concerns about the deliverables' quality. Depending on the findings, further actions can be taken, such as initiating corrective actions, addressing any discrepancies, or engaging in discussions with the stakeholder to resolve their concerns. Additionally, documenting these findings and actions in the issue log is a good practice to maintain transparency and accountability.

B seems more reasonable. C seems like you just want to pass to problem forward.

A traceability matrix is a document that details the technical requirements for a given test scenario and its current state. It helps the testing team understand the level of testing that is done for a given product. The stakeholder is questioning the technical requirements, so review that document FIRST, then address.

my answer is B, C option is only to report the issue with management, no action is taken

B. Review the requirements traceability matrix and conduct inspections

Before taking any issues up with the management, a PM needs to find out the root cause. If you read the question carefully, it's not the deliverables that were not accepted, but the quality specifications. So, it is worth conducting an inspection to understand what is wrong

The quality specifications and deliverables have already been formally accepted

Will go with B

I would have said B

I think this is C because the quality specifications and deliverables have already been formally accepted, so I don't think it can be B. You wouldn't do an inspection after your deliverables have been accepted, unless the customer as a whole comes back to you and has an issue. It is not uncommon to find a stakeholder complaining about contracted work.
