A project manager receives a deliverable from a vendor but discovers it does not meet the project's specifications. What is the BEST action for the project manager to take in this situation?
You selected this option
Modify the deliverable internally to meet specifications.
The project manager should request the vendor to address the discrepancies. This action holds the vendor accountable for fulfilling the contractual obligations and maintaining quality standards. Accepting the deliverable as is could compromise the project's success. Modifying it internally shifts responsibility and may incur additional costs. Proceeding without rectification leaves the issue unresolved and may impact project outcomes.
