A project's customer is furious. When the customer arrived at the project site, they discovered that one of their requirements was not met. What should the project manager do?
A.
Discuss and agree with the customer to implement the missing requirement
B.
Refer to the requirements traceability matrix and analyze the requirement
C.
Consult the scope management plan with the customer to understand the gap
D.
Analyze the benefits management plan and implement the needed change
Requirement not met means it was already defined in planning during Define Requirement Process before Create Scope Statement Process. A requirment traceability matrix should be consulted to have more information on this requirment and how it is linked to other artifacts of the project.
When the customer arrived at the project site, they discovered that one of their requirements was not met. This means requirements were already defined. Discuss and agree with the customer to implement a missing requirement is the immediate action that can be taken.
B: The requirement traceability matrix is a table that is created to link the requirements back to their origin. The traceability basically tracks where the requirement suggestion came from, which stakeholder gave the requirement, and why it was added to the actual project. It will help to keep track of the requirements as the project is carried out.
I think you are misunderstand. Requirement traceability matrix link requirement from their origin to "deliverables". It shows that the deliverables satisfy which requirements and ensures that requirements are delivered at the end of the project. Not "origin" as you are explaining.
C. Consult the scope management plan with the customer to understand the gap.
Starting with the Scope Management Plan is important for clarifying whether the requirement in question was initially included in the project scope or explicitly identified as out of scope. It helps set the context and boundaries of the project, which can be crucial in addressing the customer's concern.
After consulting the Scope Management Plan, the project manager may then consider referring to the Requirements Traceability Matrix and performing an analysis to further investigate the specific requirement and its status. However, starting with the Scope Management Plan is a logical and essential first step in understanding the situation and managing customer expectations.
you are mixing scope management plan with scope statement here. In scope / out of scope is defined in scope statement, not scope management plan.
Also people marking Requirement traceability matrix as the solution, are forgetting that it just maps any particular requirement raised during requirement gathering phase, to its source / requester (who asked for what).
most apt option amongst given, seems to be option A.
I cans see the logic of your argument, in a planning phase we make a plan and then RACI matrix for the requirement, but I this phase where the product development missed a requirement, I would go backwards, and check first the lower level document, the traceability matrix to see if the requirement was there and in case who was responsible, accountable etc..etc.., and if not escalate to an higher level information the Scope Management Plan, to see if it was part, or not, of the scope.
this is my thought.
